I shoot Canon, but I'll throw in my two pennies. You should buy this camera because you obviously want a new one, and from what Ive read, it's a terrific camera. You get to be alive for only a short period of time, so if that Nikon would bring you some joy, and if you can afford it, what's the harm? I just upgraded from a 5D to a 5D mark III. It can be said that I didn't NEED a new camera, but it sure makes me happy.
Same scenario ... I am a canon user, was very happy with the 7d and had been eyeing the 5d3 for over a year. Finally bit the bullet and got it a few weeks back. Shot with both on my last trip and the more I use it (the 5d3) the more the 7d is getting to be my backup now. You only live once and as much pleasure at we all get out of photography why not make the best of it. From what all I have heard the 800 is an excellent step up, as good as the 7100 is....
