Looking for some advise more than having any specific questions.
After just finding out I got through the gate into both the film and photography programs at Montana State University my parents said they will go half with me on a new camera. Being it is that I am double majoring I feel the 5D MKII or 7D would be most appropriate versus a dedicated HD camera at this point. With the newer firmware for the 5D's they now shoot native 24p (23.97fps) and handle slightly better in low light, have less noise, has better latitude, and over all just has a better image. However the 7D also shoots 720 60p, and handles a rolling shutter marginally better.
I won't over crank with 60fps a whole lot but on occasion it would be nice to have. I do already have Twixtor however. Lens's I have are a 50mm f1.4 which would be an 80mm on the 7D, a 28mm f2.8 (45mm on 7D), and a 16mm f2.8 (25mm on 7D).
What would you do in my situation and why? Is the image quality of the 5D worth the extra $800 or do I buy the 7D and spend that $800 on other stuff like a Zoom H4N and a shotgun mic with a nice wind screen?
If it makes any difference I will be shooting student projects, biking, and skiing.
