Plainly, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 5D MII because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 5D MII will offer you extra detail due to its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5D MII is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
