need direction deciding on a DSLR purchase

[Shane Trowbridge] "
Can I get a little wisdom from people who have made these decisions. Most of our delivery is web based if that makes a difference. I am also shooting on FCPX"

You sound like the perfect candidates for the Panasonic GH2. I shoot interviews with mine using inexpensive vintage Nikon lenses. You will need some accessories to make it work well for interviews --such as; a SmallHD DP6 and a JuicedLink DT454 XLR box. I edit on FCPX as well with no transcoding of the AVCHD files. Some of the benefits of the GH2: No record time limit, no overheating, no moire, onscreen histogram, onscreen audio meters, articulated LCD, usable with a wide variety of lenses... and the list goes on.

I don't usually chime in on these things but I just have to sing the virtues of the Canon 60D. I've had mine since they first came out and have beaten it to a pulp using it on a daily basis as a newspaper photographer and videographer. They are far tougher than anyone gives them credit for.
They feature manual audio settings - which the 7D doesn't have - so audio direct from the camera has none of that auto-gain hiss and since they share the same sensor with their siblings, 5D excepted, the files from the 60D are identical to the T2i, T3i and 7D. ISO 3200 is no problem in stills and shooting news video at ISO 2000 is more than useable.
The GH2 is an undeniably great camera but wide-angle lenses are tough to come by unless you try to adapt other makers' glass. I shoot the 60D almost exclusively with a Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 and rarely have to use anything else. In addition, there's a free - or by donation - Magic Lantern hack for the 60D that gives you on-screen audio levels and a built-in intervalometer.
And all this for around $900 Canadian. An absolute bargain.
