I own an EOS 5D and I’m wondering whether I should upgrade to the EOS 5D Mark II? What do you think?

EOS magazine: The EOS 5D Mark II is an excellent camera, but then again so is the EOS 5D. We suspect the question that you should ask yourself is do you really need the extra features of the EOS 5D Mark II, such as the 21.1 megapixel sensor, the integrated sensor cleaning system, the high definition (HD) video, the enhanced LCD screen and so on? The EOS 5D Mark II is an expensive camera – maybe you’d be better off spending the money on some new lenses, a faster computer or  a trip to an exotic and photogenic location to take photos? (Or even keep it in the bank!)
