I suggest get a video camera separately if video is a prime concern of yours. Simply put, a camcorder will do video much better than a similarly priced camera.

the 7D costs $1700 for the body only. Once you add a couple of lenses, you are looking at around $2500+ (including tax and everything)

with that money you can look at the 60D or T3i, both of which have the same sensor as the 7D and pretty much the same options. The only big difference is build quality and weather sealing. Then, use the rest of the money on a nice prosumer video camera. Or even go with the Canon Rebel T3, which is $550, and use $2000 to get a panasonic, sony, or canon camcorder with three sensors- even better for video.

From your list easily the Panasonic GH2, video is it's primary function. The D7000 will give you better image quality especially in low light, or you could go for the Pentax K5 which out performs it, but on these last two video is very definitely a secondary function.
