Upgrade from 400D to 5D MKII after 5 years, thoughts?
whatta:
interesting to see people who move still from 400d ;)
enjoy your 5D2!
tron:
Good move! You can add a Canon EF85mm 1.8 and/or a Canon EF135mm f/2.0 and enjoy taking portraits even more.
(I have 5DII with the above lenses. I admit I use more the 135mmf/2.0 but the 85mm is very value for money)
Enjoy...

5D Mark II will be a nice upgrade for you, good luck!
Happy shooting.

I bought an 85 f/1.8 for action shots. I tested it out yesterday and stopped down beyond f/5.6, I didn't see much difference from the 1.2L; it is tack sharp.

Congrats on getting the 5DII. I didn't comment in this thread, but it really did seem like the best choice given your subject matter.
One thing I'd add to this -- if you're shooting family pictures indoors a lot, a flash is really useful. Use this to add light when you want to stop down (e.g. when you need more depth of field)
