I'd like to hook up my laptop to my 1d Mark II so I can see what I've shot as soon as I shoot. What do I need in the way of cables and software? Thanks!

OK, simply buy a USB extension cable & you're all set.
If you search back here, I seem to recall a discussion on how long you can go with a good quality cable before needing any extra signal boosting. It's no problem for almost all situations though, I used to be 25'. Just watch out for your computer going to sleep between takes. I had a problem with the number sequence resetting to 1 years ago when you re-establish the link. I don't tether now. Speed of cards are great for my purposes.

ur camera comes with the firewire cable thats the one you need, the usb cord is for direct print. the FW port is the metal retangular socket, on the top i think. carefull both the FW and usb ports look the same on this camera.
the FW cable is shorter that comes with the 1d2 is much shorter than the one for the 1ds2, see if that cable is availble somewhere.
i prefere capture one for teathered shooting.
FW 400 (regular FW) is limited to 14-15ft, FW 800 can go i think almost 100ft. i have a FW 800 cable 30 ft thats 9 pin(standard fw400) to 6pin (standard fw800). not any faster but gives longer length. i think you would need a male 9 pin to female 6 pin cable.
