Studio shoot, 5D MarkII or MarkIII

if it's product and you do quite a bit in post anyway then there's been no significant change in quality since the 1DsIII and the 5DII. I still use the 1DsIII for static stuff (only tethered) and the 5DIII for models (un-tethered). as long as your lighting and manual focussing is up to par and you know how to use DOF appropriately it doesn't matter what you're using.

On a side note: I hate using the 1Dsiii outside of the studio. I hate using the 5Diii tethered for product. 1st world problems, eh?

Sorry for not being clearer, what I was saying in my original post is I already have both a mk II and III and was wondering if there was a better one for studio.... I ended up taking the mk III which proved to be the right choice cause since it was a workshop we were having to take turns using the strobes; while I wasn't using the stobes (which had the model lights turned on) I pulled out my 50 and 85 1.2's and did some shallow dof shots which would have been a lot more difficult with the mk II since I would have been recomposing a lot more. So it looks like the AF does need to be taken into consideration even for studio.
