The Canon EOS 7D is Canon's new semi-pro / enthusiast digital SLR and competes primarily with Nikon's recently updated D300s. Notable features about 7D: - 18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor - Dual DIGIC 4 processors (a first for a prosumer Canon DSLR) - Maximum 8 fps frame rate - Maximum ISO 12,800 Canon T2i has *Better Live View - Live view mode is now much more accessible and in more modes.18 MP sensor is nice for cropping and taking full advantage of "L" glass if you have it.This camera uses SD type cards including the new ultrahigh capacity cards. *The t2i's lcd screen is amazing. Very vibrant and lots of pixels. Much better than XSI's. I'd recommend getting an lcd protector (plastic film) to add here. *To be honest, video recording isn't very intuitive the first time I tried it. You have to turn the knob to the video recorder icon. Then you pressure the button for live view/red dot to record. It doesn't say the amount of time you've recorded unless you press the DISP button.

Nikon D7000 camera is awesome! There are so many features on this model that turn out one incredible photo after another with lots of room for creative play. Nikon D7000 has 100% view finder! Big bright with 100% coverage. No more guessing of your framing. (It is not as bright as the D700. However, it is 100% vice 95%) Or 016-Segment RGB Meter- for spot on exposure and white balance--No one touches Nikon on this and this one is fantastic.

Nikon D5000 is a Great Camera. If you are new to the DSLR game (like myself) or you are upgrading and you can fork up the cash, it is definitely worth it. It has a very concise, simple, and easy to use interface, the buttons are very well placed, and the swivel LCD is very nice and useful in certain situations.My main purpose for this camera is still photos so the video is a cool bonus and is surprisingly better than I thought (though if you are looking to do serious HD video, I'd go for an HD camcorder or something else instead). The D5000 has a number of other advantages over the D50. The first is a time saver for me. Its auto distortion controll seems to handle lens distortion "in camera" when the pictures are taken. Having the camera address lens distortion saves me from having to fix it after the photos are taken.
