I took the plunge and have ordered the 7D, plus the 15-85 F3.5-5.6 IS USM the 100mm f2.8 Macro(non IS) and the 70-300 f4-5.6 IS USM.
It has taken me ages to get to make this decision, lots suggestions by well meaning people and some sales people to wait for the Nikon D7000, but I am very happy with what I have decided on and cannot wait to use it.
Lots of information on this site and others to educate me and spur me on. Thanks to all posters.
