"5DMk2 - Today's Best Camera for Night Photography"
The On-Sight blog has a post titled "5DMk2 - Today's Best Camera For Night Photography". Although you Nikonites may or may not agree with his Canon-centric thesis, there are some very interesting observations about shooting at night with this camera.

I particularly like his idea for using ISO6400 to work out your exposures before shooting the final image at ISO100 because the ISO6400 "seconds" exposure translates directly into ISO100 "minutes" exposures. For example, 15 seconds at ISO6400 translates to 15 minutes at ISO 100. It seems to obvious. Why didn't I think of that?

Probably because it's not completely true :) 10s@iso6400 translates to 10m40s@iso100, but I could be persuaded to see the difference as negligible.
- "For example, 15 seconds at ISO6400 translates to 15 minutes at ISO 100."
Actually, Andy - in your example: 15s @6400) would work out to 16min @100. (not 15m - again close enuf!)
