What do you shoot and what benefits are you looking for?

It's not the Photography, It's the Photographer that produces good results.

Yes and no.
Full frame has some advantages but it really depends upon your use. The 7D has a great autofocus system and the 5D MK II's AF is OK. The 7D shoots more frames per second for continuous shooting.
The 5D MK II has the full frame sensor, higher resolution, larger viewfinder, and lower noise at higher ISO.
This is my opinion, if you are using your camera for sports, wildlife, and general photography, stay with the 7D. If the majority of your photography is in the studio or landscapes, go for the 5D MK II.

therefore asking what type of photography they are going to do is a question that needs to be asked before a valid answer can be suggested, but thats me.

You would get a full frame sensor (if that is important to you) and a more water resistant body, but for the most part it is not a significant enough upgrade to warrant the switch IMHO.
Now, picking a 5D MkIII or waiting for the anticipated 7D Mk II later this year would be an upgrade.
The key question is "what do you need or want that your 7D is unable to provide?"
If you can answer that question, then "upgrading" becomes a much easier decision.

Good point FL. As I noted the question "would it give better results?" Results are relative to photographic knowlege know-how. Takes time and training. There are photographers in this forum shooting every type of dx/ff camera and getting excellent results.

In the hands of the same photographer (or using the same settings without pushing ISO etc.), and using the same lens, I think you will not find any significant differences between them (unless you are planning to enlarge them beyond 16 x 20" ). quote=Festina Lente quote=johnbegood17 Hi br I ...

And "better results" can be so subjective and may even vary depending on what kind of photography you are most interested in (long exposure for example...)

It's only an upgrade if you need certain things...like full frame etc. It's a downgrade if you want more fps. Your photography style should determine which way you go.

Yes what about the 7D are you not happy with? I use a 7D and just purchased a used 7D as a backup. The 5DMKII doesn't offer enough additional features to make it worth an upgrade for me. I looked at the 5DMKIII but in all honeslty the prices is way to high currently for me. Plus I usually like to wait a year or two before purchasing a "new" model that way most if not all the bugs are worked out. :)
