I meant to say Canon 5D Mark 2, not Canon Mark D5 2...although I'm sure you gathered what I meant by it. Sorry!

I'm trying to buy a digital camera, and I'm stuck between two different ones. I either want to purchase the Nikon d700 (with a CMOS sensor type and FX sensor format, size 36 x 23.9 mm, and a total of 12.1 effective pixels) OR the Canon Mark D5 2 (with a CMOS sensor type, size 24 x 36 mm, and a total of 21.1 effective pixels). Both are similar in price range. Now I know that the Canon one has nearly double the pixels, but according to a review I read at dpreview.com, what you give up in pixels for the Nikon, you gain in extreme ISO capabilities and speed. Likewise, the Canon has a good amount of pixels with a little lag in speed. What is the best thing to do here? I know that a lot of people focus only on the pixel amount rather than the sensor size and ISO capabilities. Truth be told, I simply want to be able to take a good, high-quality image in lower light settings without having to use a tripod, which would force me to lose out on capturing any candid moments, and force me to pose my subjects for longer periods of time. Not to mention the noise problem, which gets to be an issue for a lot of digital cameras when you go past 400 ISO. Any advice? I wish I knew more about all this, but... Help!

They are not synonym!! CCD is different type of sensor and most DSLR today use CMOS sensor, not CCD sensor. Electronic sensor is not known as CCD sensor! They are not synonym!!
