I have been umming and ahh-ing over whether to get a 5DII or a 1Ds III for some time now.
Having just sold my 1Ds II and needing a full frame Canon to replace it I opted for the 5D II in the end. Last night myself and a friend went out and met at Waterloo station, London to shoot some street in low light conditions. Andy opted to bring out his 1D IV with a 50mm f/1.8 attached, I on the other hand obviously using the 5D II, went for a longer focal length of 135mm f/2.0.
Here are my results, which Andy thinks have better noise control over the 1D IV.
All in all I'm very pleased with the results seen below, although I have noticed a white "hot pixel"

I do like the last image of a guy checking his watch as he has just walked by arguably the most famous clock in the world!
I even had a go at the video, which will need some practice as I'm not a videographer/cinematographer! I thought I may post it on here just in case anyone wanted to see the bokehliciousness of it, and decided not! Alas maybe some other time!
