EF lenses? You can always buy an adapter. As far as the full-frame look, that is understandable. But you take a serious hit on the detail captured by the internal codec in the 5Dii compared to the gh2. The 5dii will give you much better low-light performance though.

I have only EF lenses, btw what is the effect of using EF lenses on a FF camera? I've never had one so I haven't had this experience yet.
The other thing is that I am planning on using the camera for some photography as well and I assume the gh2 doesn't stack up against either of these Canon FF cameras.

EF lenses will work on any modern Canon SLR camera. It is the EF-S lenses (white dot instead of red) that are restricted to APS-C sensor cameras...

For still photography the 5d2 is vastly superior.

So my decision is, do I buy a 5D II right now or do I wait until Canon announces their new entry level FF camera. It seems like the price will be about the same so I am torn. My usage of this camera will be 75% video, but I also do some side photography. I need to start compiling some pros and cons because at this point in my life dropping $2K is a pretty big deal.
I'm sure it would be best to wait for the official announcement of the new FF camera before I make my decision, but I am impatient and if the answer if the 5DII I want to get it right away.
