Thanks. Video is a nice to have but not a major factor for me. I think I can safely take the 7D off the list. For the price of the 7D body I can get the D7000 and a $500 lens. I will definitely wait until these are on the shelves.bhphotovideo.com shows the D7000 as a kit with a NIKKOR 18-105mm DX VR Lens. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/735300-REG/Nikon_25474_D7000_DSLR_Camera_Kit.htmlDo you know if this is a good lens or should I look at something else. I'm guessing it's better than the 18-55 that comes with D3100.One lens I know I'm interested is a 50mm 1.4. Is the Nikon the best choice or should I look at other brands? One of the Nikon 70-300 might be an early option too.
