It's performance at higher ISO is outstanding, and whilst it's not as good as it's Nikon counterparts in the lower ISO's, it is still a good step up from the 5D mk ii. And the 24MP file sizes are perfect to deal with. Having the CF and SD card slots will always be helpful, also having the centre F8 focusing point is handy if you happen to be using a 1.4 teleconverter, etc
I was hoping you'd respond Dave, as I thought you had the 5D3.
I'm not bothered by low ISO performance at all. 5D2 is fine for that, and I imagine the 5D3 will be as good.
But high ISO, and certainly F8 focusing, are big deals. I'll be willing to use the 1.4x quite a bit more if I don't have to manually focus.
5D3 seems like the only reasonable option for me. 1DX and 5D4 are out of the price range, 6D and 5DS/R don't offer some key things...
I'm hoping, like you, that I won't want to upgrade for quite awhile.
