    I received a rather unexpected bonus from work and thought about selling my 40D and going full frame. I've played with my buddies 5D and I'm not a fan of the smaller LCD, so if I upgrade, I think i'd rather get the mkII.

    The other option is to wait for the kinks to get worked out and grab a few L's to hold me over.

    I noticed some people were having AF problems a couple weeks ago but it seems like it was only a few.

    I think your question depends on what lenses you have now, don't forget you can't use EF-S lenses with a FF camera, incase you have a few of those.

    A friend of mine picked on up at one of the few Best Buy's that had them in stock a couple'a weeks back.

    It's a great piece of hardware. I'd like to get one, but have other things on the brain (http://www.dive-xtras.com/content/view/36/2/)...

    There is also a thread about random black dots. I guess that is the price to pay to be an early adopter. Hopefully the issues are fixed with either: firmware or quick warranty work.

    I currently have:
    100-400L - Keeper
    50mm F/1.4 - Keeper
    28-135 - It's the kit to the 40D and I would either sell it with it or separately since a 24-105L from the 5DmkII kit would replace it.
    10-22mm is EF-S, so that has to go as well and would eventually be replaced by a 16-35L
