The major issue with the 5D Mark II is the now infamous "Black Dot" issue. This is caused by a conflict within the camera's internal software and large contrast variations. Should be fixed within a month using a firmware upgrade.
I pose this question: Why spend 7K on one camera when you could just about get 3 5d Mark II's? Any reputable distributor, i.e. Calumet, offers a complete protection plan. That means if you get mad and take a hammer to your camera, once you come to your senses you can bring it in for a new one.
With the increased weather sealing on the 5D Mark II and the superior L series glass (obviously the ones for outdoors), one could afford to do without. With this said, if you are going to be in the elements and cover is not an option, the 1D series is the way to go.
There are some great prices on used 1Ds Mark II's, why not go that route?
Just some thoughts.
