Nikon D3100 looks interesting.... fulltime AF could be cool for some users if it actually works.... but I'm waiting for D90 replacement, as I've got some AF-D lenses....
I've shot quite a bit of staged setup video with 5D mark II, lights, 70-200 2.8 IS, various prime lenses, tripod, etc.. quite nice in low light, and I'm re-learning how to follow focus from the film school days...
NOTE The 5D mark II is NOT a "grab and shoot" camera, it's unforgiving if you're in a hurry and not careful.... compared to XVX200, which you can just stick on your shoulder and shoot....
The whole full-frame or not isn't a gigantic issue for me.... the crop frame cameras are more forgiving of sloppy focussing, but slightly less "ohh-ahh" about the bokeh at F1.4, but I've seen sooooo much F1.4 from the 5D mark II, it's becoming like the ringlight craze of 2003...
