You mean apart from much lower noise at high ISO 1,815 ISO vs 1,162 ISO ? Or maybe it's the higher true resolution 21 MP vs 16 MP ? Or maybe you mean the significantly larger viewfinder of FF cameras that make manual focusing so much more enjoyable ? Or maybe you are a videographer and love the fact the 5DII supports 24p ? No ? Am I on the wrong track ? Then surely it must be the WA available for FF cameras without a lens that distorts the crap out of the edges ? Or the gorgeous low DoF without paying a massive amount for super fast lenses ?
Don't get me wrong, I have 2 K5s and absolutely love them, they are superb cameras, but I'm not blind to the obvious advantages that a FF, and in this case the 5DII, offer.
