After a lot of back and forth deciding between Nikon and Canon I ended up buying the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and LOVE IT!!!
It was a very difficult decision since both the Nikon and this Canon are both wonderful cameras and have their own very loyal followers who each praise their favorites.
Images on the 5D Mark II are extremely sharp, even without tripod use. I once walked past a really cute dog and rather than stopping to chat with the owners just pushed the shutter as I walked by. I was amazed to see how well the photo turned out. See image

The camera is very easy to operate, even for someone who is not a pro at photography. The video feature is a nice addition as well, especially since you can freeze images as well and print them.
The on/off button is on the back where the screen is and that is the only thing that I did not like. Other than that I have yet to find flaws.
As a novice photographer I have taken some really cool shots
like this one thanks to this camera.
