I'm looking to upgrade to 5D MkII especially for my travels so I don't have to carry two pieces of equipment. Having a quality still cam and a video camera in one would make it much easier and 12 minutes limitation is not an issue there. I hardly ever make a continuous shot longer than 3 minutes.

Yes you can restart after a few seconds of buffer time. TBH I'm not impressed by the video I've shot with it at all. I've seen other videos that are awesome so I'm going to contribute that to editing as well as assuming the other videos were shot by more capable hands than mine.
I put the camera on a tripod and shot a video of a tractor pushing around some dirt. When I panned the camera the video got all choppy even while panning slowly. I'm not sure if the new firmware upgrade would make a difference in that or not.
From my experience it could be OK as a stationary camera but not much more than that. I dabbled with it for a few weeks then said screw it and went back to real video cameras.
