Depends what you're going to be doing with it?
The 5DMKII is full frame, better IQ, better noise handling, higher resolution etc
But 7D is newer and has the features - so it's much quicker (FPS and shutter lag), has a much better auto focus/tracking system and the crop sensor suits sports/nature has the lens has more reach.
I could either get the 7D and a great lens or the 5DII and OK lens - but chose the 7D and great lens option. I haven't looked back ... and when I look at the R21,000.00 5DMKII specs I can't help but wonder why it hasn't been updated. It surely must be due very shortly!
I'm giving the average - not the lowest.
Canon 7D bodis between R15,000.00 - R16,000.00
Canon 5D MKII is between R21,000.00 - R22,000.00
Canon 5D MKII R19'995
Canon 7D R14'495
Both cameras at Fotodiscountworld come with free training vouchers.
I have a 7D and I'm loving it. Only reason that I wouldn't go for the 5D right now would be the fact that I would lose some of the reach on my big lenses. For closeups I'd be all for the 5D.
I would suggest you check for specials. I got the 7D body for R12k on special.

... yea but that was a never to be repeated special
I can kick myself for missing it
I've seen that special four or five times the past 12-18 months
Argh - post it next time
I got my 7D in April and the cheapest I could find anywhere was R14,800.00
When did they have the photo/video expo at Gallagher estates? Was around August iirc. Fdw had it for 12k then, as did the big photo shop in Jozie.

5M2 is a brilliant camera.
But I got a 7D as I needed the FPS speed and the more accurate AF system.
