I bit the bullet and decided to get one, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II 
I always prefer to shoot with natural lighting when possible so high ISO performance is very important to me. That alone would merit an upgrade for me but with the extra benefits of a 21.1mp full frame sensor and video recording capabilities, it was too hard to pass up.
Btw, Canon Australia will be increasing prices so it would be wise to make the purchase you’ve been planning for awhile NOW! If you can’t afford it just yet, put it on layby or go rob a bank guys!
Anyway, I paid $3599 for mine at JB Hifi, Macquarie Centre. Due to the high demand of this camera the current ETA for new stock is sometime between mid to late Jan 2009.
I will be selling my Canon 40D and Canon 10-22 lens soon, if anyone is interested feel free to email me

Good on you mate, I was trying it out over the weekend and it shoots great at ISO 6400. The grain is just as comparable to my Nikon D700 but its at 21MP!!

Hey Mark, it is an awesome camera eh? I have to admit that I briefly entertained the idea of switching to Nikon when the D700 was released. Never has the world seen such amazing ISO performance then!
I’m selling the 40D and 10-22 lens to fund a 16-35 too. If only Canon made a wider UWA zoom lens. I think I will miss the 10-22 :p
