If you are a Nikon users with an existing investment in lenses, this may be what you have been waiting for:

1080p at both 30p and 24p
AF while shooting video
Magnesium body (like 7D)

It's pricey, but cheaper than switching everything over to Canon.

Really nice comparison chart between the Nikon D7000, Canon 60D, and Canon 7D:

It does not shoot at 25P at high HD which is a big drawback for European broadcast and I dont think it also does slow mo. The 550D offers more for less.

According to the link above ... No 1920x1080 at 29.97/30fps. A desperate attempt but falls far short.

I agree that it falls short of the Canons in most features. But it has two REALLY good things going for it...

It's better in low-light than the Canons.

If you already own Nikon, it's a decent camera to get you into Video without having to switch to Canon. Especially if you can live within the limitations of frame rate.
