Am I putting too much emphasis on this one review?

Only you can determine what camera best suits your needs. Try both and make up your own mind. My feeling is that 95% of these reviews and reviewers have such a bias toward one manufacture or another, I don't believe most of what they write. I prefer to do my own tests and make up my own mind.
 
Its not the tool, its how you use it.
Have you seen anything you liked with a 7d, t2i, 60d ?
Well guess what, it had nothing to do with the camera. So just pick one of the established ones (including the gh2) and youl make stuff as good as you can make it.
 
It's all subjective... get on vimeo, download the source file (try and find files that were straight from the camera). See which you prefer.

This EOSHD guy can sometimes be quite off the mark with his statements.... he was claiming on another GH2 blog that the F35 and Alexa had native 1080p sensors, but they are 3.5k downscaled. Makes me think he is not very informed and fell ass backwards into this.
 
The GH cameras have an interlaced wrap I beleive, and if I'm not mistaken, only really get better than the Canons when you hack them, which it seems you can't do that anymore with the newer made models. While the quality of the video on Canon cameras is not great, neither is any other DSLR, Canon has always seemed to be the #1 choice. Since Nikon's lenses are the sharpest out there and seem to make a "GH2" difference in video mode, have you considered Nikon for video? I think there's one up in the $1,000 range that has manual controls...
 
The GH2 seems to be overall a better video camera than the 60D. That doesn't mean that you should go and get the GH2, but that camera was designed with more video features in mind. I went with the 60D so that in the future, when canon comes out with a moire-free DSLR, I don't have to worry about re-buying lenses. In addition, I use it as much for photography, so I felt the 60D was a better match for me.

Yeah I looked at the D7000 but it doesn't have 60p or 30p, only 24p (in 1080 that is). That was just about all I needed to be talked out of it.
