i own a Nikon D80 and i want the new Canon 7D, i was wondering if it is better than the Nikon D300 or 700, and what are some of the good qualities.
Answer
If you switch to the 7D, those old Nikon lenses you used to use with the D80 will all be useless. The cost isn't just limited to the body itself, but to the lenses you will need to buy to replace the old ones you had before.
As for performance, the D700 is the best out of those 3. For the same price as getting the 7D and replacement lenses, the D700 is the much better camera here.

Should I buy a Canon 7D?
Bernie
I'm an aspiring film maker and am looking for a new camera.
I've been asking around for recommendations from some friends and most are saying that the Canon 7D is the way to go.
I don't know much about shooting video with a DSLR, and I don't know how I feel about using a separate recorder to capture audio.
Plus, most of the people who recommended the 7D are film school students, and their advice is usually "No, you NEED to buy a 7D! You NEED to edit on a Mac! NEED NEED NEED!" and I feel like I'm not really getting the best advice.
So I'm asking more about what are the pro's of shooting on a DSLR vs. a Professional video camera?
If not the 7D, what camera would you recommend?
Looking for something around $2,000-$3,000.
Thanks!

Jim A, maybe you should brush up on media language yourself before criticizing him as he use the term film in the correct context..

As for your question Bernie, the 7d is an excellent camera for video, Scenes in Black swan were recorded with the 7d. In saying that the t2i, 60d and the soon to be released t3i have basically the same video function as the 7d in cheaper bodies. In the case of the 60d and the t3i they have articulating screens that are brilliant for filming with. I'd recommend the 60d to you.
If you are looking to get into film making professionally you will want to get good sound equipment anyway.
In regards to the mac or pc question, i'd recommend a mac as it has Final Cut Pro for editing and its basically the industry standard. But if you want to save money don't dismiss a windows machine as Adobe Premier is just as good.
take a look at you tube at some of the example short films shot with each of the cameras and you can decide from that.
Hope that helps you.
