Thanks pRICE cUBE. I'm in the market for a low-end independent film camera.

Have you considered the Canon T2i 550D at $800 body only? All the reviews I've seen say that if you are interested primarily in video functions, save the money and go for the T2i. The 7D adds some compelling features, but they are almost all geared towards stills.

Though I recently read about a PL mount conversion for the 7D so you can use cine lenses, which is pretty cool, except it's a permanent modification so you can't switch between PL and Canon lenses. Plus, at $3,250 for the conversion, it certainly isn't cheap.
