Thanks Wim. Decision made. The tough part is now finding a 5D M II in GErmany. Every bloody shop (including online ones) are out of stock. With the exception of the overpriced ones, of course. Called Canon Germany. They dont know of any availability problem. For them the retailers just forget to order. Ridiculous. In one of the largest stores here in Berlin I was told that they have been waiting for shipment for three months.

Jenbenn, I don't recommend you get your camera from the high-street retailers in Germany. Mediamarkt, Saturn and Medimax all fix the prices and and you'll end up paying 200-300 euros more than you should. On top of that, the staff know as much about cameras as I do about the mating habits of the Indonesian tree kangaroo.
You could try Calumet in West Berlin - they at least know what they are talking about and the service is pretty good. I got my 5D MKII from an online shop called Wex Cameras (in Schwerin, I think) and I was very happy with the price and the service.
