Hiya fellas,

If you have used both 5D and 5D II, can you give me some help?

Simply, does 5D II produce -dramatically- better results than 5D? There are heaps of 2nd hand 5D out there and I'm thinking to change to full frame. My budget is pretty tight because I want to spend on lenses as well. Should I wait til I can get 5D II, or it's better off with original 5D?

Diffraction limited aperture (DLA) become my concern as well. I mainly shoot with small apertures for slow shutter landscapes. If you compare (with the same lens, focal length, etc), let's say, f/16 on both cameras, does 5D produce sharper/better result inasmuch as it has smaller DLA?

Any helps greatly appreciated in advance!

All the best!
Nick
