Convince me to get a 5D II

I am not one who considers a FF body as a step up. But, am open to suggestions. Maybe I missed something. Best reason to get a 5D II?

Better resolution and lower noise at high ISO as well as thinner depth of field for better isolation in portraits.

All the cool kids have one...

(And all the technical reasons)

The lens is projecting an image back there... The big ol chip sucks it all in

1. You're bored with what you have and would like to mix it up with something new.
2. You need the high ISO performance
3. You like the idea of video
4. You run a business and can write off the purchase
5. 21 MP is important to you
6. You're vein
7. sRAW is important to you
8. You'd like to see a new perspective through your lenses
9. Your two 7D's are redundant
10. All the cool kids are doing it


Hopefully you found at least one or two of these somewhat helpful.

P.S. I don't own nor have I used a 5D2.

11. Help support Canon during this tough economic time
12. You can add an additional line item on your massive gear list.
13. Satisfy your curiosity
14. Get to see the focal length of your lens correctly

I heard it's a chick magnet

Monster High ISO Performance
Monster Dynamic Range

That's already good enough. lol

the best reason to buy it is if you really want it.

Because if you regret your decision, you can sell it for almost the same price you paid for it.

it can be used to murder someone (Well built)
HOW MANY FPS!?
video tops just about any hand-held HD camcorder
everyone will be jealous.

1) ISO noise
2) 1080p video
3) More pixels for crop-ability
4) Dumbbell
5) Conversation starter

Because you need it!

Best reason. Because you want it, can afford it, and if you get tired of it, you are out almost no money. Sounds like win+win+win. Three wins make it a good decision.
