Bobby
I am asking about which camera is better or is there a camera that is better than both of them that you know of, so i am really counting on someone who knows alot about cameras and actually really knows which camera is the best in the whole wide world. SO PLEASE ANSWER!!!!
Answer
There are other choices but, I own both and can give you the following: The 7D really is a better camera than the 5D Mark II in almost every way and benefits heavily from improved technology as well as heavy competition from Nikon and Sony. For those of us who wished Canon had produced something like Nikon's D300/D300s rather than the 50D, the 7D goes a long way toward resolving those complaints. Specifically relative to the 5D Mark II, the 7D has a vastly improved autofocus system, better metering, "intelligent" viewfinder, and dual image processors that allow it to shoot at up to 8 frames per second. The 7D is also more thoroughly sealed against moisture and dust. And finally, the 7D has a dedicated swtich and button to access live view and video modes as well as start/stop recording. But the 7D falls short of the 5D Mark II in one critical area...The 7D is NOT a full-frame DSLR and therefore cannot match the 5D Mark II for image quality. That said, the 7D image quality is still very, very impressive for a crop-body and (IMHO) the best/most improved crop-body Canon has produced since the 40D.
Now, if you aren't a sports shooter, demand the best image quality, and don't need the speed of the 7D, the 5D Mark II is the obvious choice. By comparison to the 7D, the 5DmkII has an outdated, nine-point AF, lacks the 7D's weather seals, and can't be customized to your personal tastes as easily or extensively. But all of that tends to fade away when you recognize just how big a full-frame viewfinder is compared to even the 7D's near 100% viewfinder. The 5D is also a tad quieter than the 7D which is a benefit for people who shoot weddings and other formal events. The difference in resolution between the 7D and 5DmkII is hardly worth mentioning. What is worth mentioning is that the 5DmkII's RAW output is sharper and at least to me, offers better/smoother color gradiations which points to greater dynamic range that comes with full-frame cameras. If you shoot JPEG however, the difference in image quality is a little less dramatic until you get beyond ISO 3200.
If you want the latest in technology and the fastest camera Canon makes short of the 1D Mark IV, get the 7D. If you need the best image quality and/or the full benefit of ultra wide lenses like Canon's EF 14mm f/2.8 USM II, then go with the 5D Mark II. I am fortunate enough to own both. I use my 5DmkII for architecture, landscapes and portraits. I use my 7D for wildlife and sports or to make the most of long lenses when I'm running both cameras at the same event. The next 5D will likely get all the technology found on the 7D but, that replacement most likely won't happen for another year. L-series glass is pretty much a requirement to get the most out of either body. As the other poster noted, neither of these cameras is a substitute for skill.

SLR Camera Help?!?!?
Sunshine
I'm not to great with all the special camera jargon, so someone who knows cameras, please post me up a link for a camera with these qualities:
-digital
-takes rapid pictures (like 10 or so one after another)
-stabalized
-built in flash (or comes with an attachable flash)
-at least 12 megapixles
-i'd really like it to be a nikon, but if it's otherwise and you say it's good quality, i'll take your word for it
-i don't really know what else to ask for, but anything you'd recomend
please&thankyou!!!
:D
Answer
Digital- no film, saved to a harddrive
sequential shooting, means one after another(dont get this confused with FPS, frames per second this usually applies to pro quality models that are used for sports.
stabalized- has an internal ability to make hand holding a minimal problem. watch this video about min 3:00.
http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/OlympusSP550UZ/page7.shtml
built in pop up flashis top quality, and Nikon also offers top quality external flashes.
I now how you feel! It is hard to keep up to date with photo jargon. I personally shoot with a Nikon d40x. I am pleased with my camera. Nikon also offers awesome external flash units. I am adding 4 links. One to a place called camera labs. They do the best comparisons and video tutorials of any site I know. and also links for nikonks newest d90, d300, and d700. remember more megapixals lets you take a bigger picture not a better one.
I think you should look at Nikons newest release the d9o. it also can shoot in hd720 video mode. and has all the quality that you would expect from Nikon
