Go for the IS II - much much better - really good on the 5DII.
Maybe a bit long for most landscapes? although good for urban images

Yes I know the 7D AF is better - but shocking is rather over dramatising an AF that is accurate and still the (current) best in low light. It may have its limitations - but shocking - NO
I take a lot of pictures of animals which dont stay still for me or even pose with good backgrounds. So I just stick it on Servo, use the joystick for AF point control and away I go - relying of the blurred backgrond to improve things. Shooting wide open on a moving subject means the AF has to be good as the DOF is very shallow, also I have to get a high percentage of keepers as the animals dont respond well to 'just another one please' ;D ;D
So here is a light hearted one that I took recently. I take pictures for a goat sanctuary that need pictures of goats for rehoming - so getting the aw factor is more important than the quality of the photo.
