For those of you that prefer real world testing to shooting test charts, you may be interested in seeing Mark Wallace's newest review. In this video Mark goes out and shoots the brand new Canon 5D Mark III. On paper the 5D3 may not look like much of an upgrade from the M2 but the focusing, metering, and ISO performance show huge improvements.

I was sure that the guy from Adorama would tell me I not to give him $3500/$4300 to upgrade.
Wish I'd get Canon to sponsor me with some money too so I could buy a D800.
Mark does great tutorials, but this video is of a guy in sellout mode. I don't blame him, but it's a shame nonetheless.
Good video. BUT seriously, i'd invest in the MKii it's a proven performer. Stills and video, are awesome.
( i'm a nikon guy so take this with a grain of salt)
But thats what i would do.
not the best video from Wallace Mark III...
Here's my real-world comparison of the 5D2 and 5D3, covering portraits (still and moving), studio headshots, action shots, wildlife (still and flying), night photography, and HDR:
