EOS Bodies - For Stills / Autofocus Upgrade question

« on: November 21, 2012, 04:07:43 PM »

I have decided that I want to upgrade to a full frame from my 40D.  Of course my 1st choice would be a 5D3 but I think that the price is a little out of my reach.  The 5D2 looks like a better option to me over the 6D but I still have one nagging question.  I have read a lot about the 5D2 autofocus system leaving much to be desired but I am more or less happy with the system on my 40D.  I don't love it but it get the job done most of the time.  I mainly just shoot landscapes but I like to shoot pets and sports just for fun every now and then.  None of witch I do professionally, just an enthusiast. 

So my question is, how does the 5D2 AF compare to the 40D?  Would this be a downgrade or still an upgrade?  Thanks is advance for your help.
