Hopefully the 5D Mark 3 will use the 7D's focus system.

If you have the budget for the 1D Mark IV it's also a good choice. It's not full frame but it's less cropped than the 7D. And it has the best focus system there is. The crop can actually be helpful because the 5D can vignette a little too easily.
Yeah, the 40D does 5.6 fps i think... and that's pretty darn fast unless you're a pro sports shooter.

Ok, you talked me into it, i'll check out the 7D. I was really liking the 5D for the video which i assume is better on full frame. No? Like you i figured i'd ditch the camcorder and just have a do it all camera body.

In what situation do you notice the vignetting?
