TPF Noob!
Original 5D vs. new 5D mkii. i just got the mkii yesterday and i'm going back and forth with the purchase. to tell you the truth, i am thinking of sending it back. the 5D is such a sweet cam that there really isn't much difference to me with the quality! AND.... indoors, in the evening, at iso 1000 F4, 1/30 roughly, the 5D performs flawlessly! barely any noise....none really.... at about 2500 iso F4, 1/30, the mkii gives the same quality but a tiny bit of noise. this is upsetting! i wondered if canon just made it so the NEW 2500 iso is the OLD 1000 iso!!! don't get me wrong, the mkii is a great cam but if you have the 5D, it's not necessary...maybe that's just me. someone please prove me wrong. the video is a nice thing to have on the cam but i won't use it that much. what i hate about the video, is that to use it you need to activate live view, so you can see on the screen what you're filming. when live view is activated, there is a very quiet motor noise which of course is picked up by the mic! EXCELLENT! anyway, here are some pics i took..... some mkii and some original 5D.... i have to go back and forth because i can't tell what is what at times. NO FLASH WAS USED AT ALL! roughly same settings between the 2 cams.... iso 2500 vs. iso 1000 on 5D.

The last 2 are original 5D. when i zoomed way in on the RAWs during editing, i saw a little more noise on the mkii. maybe i'm too picky, i don't know, but for the money i was expecting insane light and day.
