You guys are saying your dream body for HDSLR filming is the 7D?
jeez. dream big a little bigger, and do some reasearch, please.

For filming, I would wait for a good, full frame 1080 nikon to come out.

For shooting, based on what's available now - D700 body.

lenses -

14-24mm f2.8 AF-G
28-70mm f2.8 AF-D
80-200mm f2.8 AF-D
16 mm nikkor fisheye
24 mm f3.5 PC-E
28mm f1.4 AF-D
50mm f1.4 AF-S
85 mm f1.4 AF-D
135mm f2 DC
300 mm f4 AF
300 mm f2.8

I wouldn't mind throwing a longer lens in for good measure but I don't know anything about them.

if I play my cards right I can get all that for about $9,500. I've actually owned a bum copy of the 85 1.4 and I almost had my hands on the 14-24 AND the 28-70 a while back, but right now the only thing on that list I own is the 300 f/4 which is my favorite lens that I own.

I do not like the 5d mk2, just a personal preference. No dual-digic processors, 3.9 fps, etc. 7d has much more room for firmware upgrades and I in reality i'd probably get one over a 5d (with a 60d being more likely, but too much shit would be thrown if I said that in the OP :P). Nikon is nowhere near the video capabilities of a canon atm anyway, so no questions there.

But... have you looked at the footage that comes out of either one? more features are nice, but the video that the 5d produces as a camera puts the 7d to shame.

It's true Nikon is a far cry.

If I was going to "dream" about a digi video setup right now, short of a RED setup with Cine lenses, I would use an HPX with a 35 adapter and Nikon glass before I ever bought an HDSLR. I'm constantly SUPER underwhelmed with the footage that comes from a lot of HDSLRs.

hmm, I dont know if I would want to Pl mount the 5dmk2 (35mm lens). The fullframe sensor is bigger than 35mm film(motion). It seems smarter to Pl mount the 7D cause the 1,6crop sensor is 99% the same size as 35mm film "sensors.

But maybe hotrod cameras found a way to avoid the vignetting on a Pl mounted 5dmk2?

yup, one has a red ring, the other doesnt... well I'm sure there is more to it than that but I have the 2.8 and it is unreallllll. However, if I had madd bank, I would cop all the L-Series primes I could. 85mm f/1.2L is just about the best portrait lens I've ever had the privilege to use.
