Re: Question for lea - was good lens gone bad?

One way to evaluate the DxO results is to compare Canon's prosumer *D line over the years:
 
As you can see, the 20d is still a pretty damn good camera!!!
You don't start getting seriously "better" until you get into the 5d or 5dMkII models.
In other words, I wouldn't bother "upgrading" to a 40d or 50d -- why bother?
 
Whereas the 5d or 5dMkII starts to make a big difference.
 
OTOH, the specs for the D90 are 72.6!! Which puts it slightly above the 5D and slightly below the 5D MKII.
 
Given the significant price difference between a D90 and 5*, I'm definitely in a quandary!! However, given also that my goal is to have a "carry anywhere" camera, the smaller sensor is a significant plus. YMMV of course.

Lea, I'm trying to decide on a replacement for my 20D with two under consideration: 50D, 5D MkII.

I read a recent review from B&H of the 5D MkII and it seemed to me that the big thing about it is the video. 

My question to you as a user of both is how big a deal is the video capability of the MkII?  I'm really not that interested in video.  What do you like about the MkII vs the original?

Thanks,
Bob
