Nikon 35mm any good for family portraits?

I have a Nikon D7000 and I'm currently shooting family portraits. I have a 50mm 1.8 lens but I have to back up some in order to get a family of four with background and because of this sometimes the people do not come out as sharp. Do you think a 35mm would fix this, since I wouldn't have to stand so far away?

Is the Canon 7D a big enough upgrade from the Nikon D90?

I just got my D90 almost 6 months ago, but now this amazing offer for a 7D comes along. I'm not sold on either Nikon or Canon… I have honestly never tried out a Canon, but I kept thinking maybe the next time I ungraded it would be a Canon. So, what I'm wondering is, is it worth it to upgrade to the 7D, or should I wait a few years, then upgrade to say, the Canon EOS-1D X, or something of the sort?

Camera body or Lens problem?

I have Nikon D5100 with 50mm prime and 18-105 VR lens. Whenever I take a picture, the subject (my girlfriend who has long legs, slim) looks short or sometimes she looks normal. Is it because of the focus point. Are there any reference point where the picture will look lean and slim. Or should I just switch to full frame camera.

Please advice.
