Whats better for Wedding and Portrait Photography...Canon 7D or 5D Mark II

[mysticman_57]

Right now I can afford the 7D, I want to get into Wedding Photography as that seem to be where the money is. I'm presently shooting with a Canon T1i and assorted L series lenses. My dilema, do I spend the money now on the 7D and sacrifice getting a full frame 5D later (much later) or take a leap of faith and get the 7D now...I also shoot a lot of nature and Fine arts stuff so it would have to cover that arena also..I would love to have the Full frame but it's a lot of money to spend. especially if the 7D is comparable...any thoughts are GREATLY appreciated ..PS..In other forums I have had a lot of well meaning people who have no experience with either camera offer their opinion. I really appreciate their intentions but please answer ONLY if you have first hand experience with both camera's..Peace.

My preference would be to go for the 5D II...especially if you have L lenses and not many EF-S lenses. I'm also thinking of these two cameras as my next upgrade, but I have several EF-S (or similar from Sigma/Tamron) so the 7D may be a more responsible upgrade for me.
