Well, The photos turned out ok. I ended up not using my flash + diffuser - HORRIBLE results, so I decided to crank up the ISO to around 2000 and the photos seemed to be ok.

But I'm starting to see where the 5D2 FAILS at. It simply can't focus on anything moving in mildly low light, or just people in low light, not even moving. Many times I had to press the shutter down half way to get it to refocus, and sometimes it even took more than 3 times to get it right. I'm disappointed to be honest, and really wished I went with the D700; I hear that thing is godly at things like this, and I should know. After all, I came from a D300 and in the same gym and lighting - absolutely flawless focusing. Every photo was sharp, save for the blur from slow shutter speeds, but I feel that Nikon's AF system is just generations beyond the 5D2's.
