If you are looking to take action videos of the dogs Azz, my experience of in camera video is not favourable. For set up, static shots the 5D MkII is great but my Panny HD digicam knocks it into touch for action shots.

ps. This was shot on the 5D. A bit under exposed because the light changed from setting the exposure to actually taking the shot, No auto exposure whilst taking the movie

I could never decide between the 5DII or 7D so didn't get either.
Image quality is obviously the aim with full frame and there's no doub't (in this £ group) the 5DII rules over the 7D
The 700 however handles noise so well having less MP crammed in and as a result can also give you 8fps compared to the 5DII's 3.9. The Canon 7D can match the 700 for speed but with 19MP on a crop sensor things get cramped for image quality.

I thought the IQ of the 7D was meant to be pretty good?

It is good if you are prepared to set the shot up and take time and care over it. Going from a HD digicam to the 5D for video was like going from a all singing DSLR back to a manual SLR. Terrific results if you know what to do and have the time to set the shot up.
The 7D may be a bit more user friendly but the 5D does demand a lot from the user.

That does seem to be the case doesn't it Steve, I found the same when I jumped to the D300 from the D40.
All I can say is now I am more confuzzled than ever

Have no idea why Nikon prices always stay fairly 'high' yet Canon lower their prices after the initial launch phase
