T2i VS GH1 VS 7D for video?

I'm looking into a DSLR for HD video and occasional stills, but video is my main concern. I'm looking into cameras that can be purchased new or used for around 1000, or under.

I'm considering the Canon T2i, the Panasonic GH1 (with the safe hack to GH13), and Canon 7D.

What are your thoughts on these 3?
 
If it's primarily for video purposes, the GH1 (and GH2) are much more suitable for "video camera" use than either of the Canons. The Canons are primarily stills cameras with video added on, whereas the GH1 was designed to be a fully hybrid video & still camera. A GH1 with the 14-140 lens is a pretty reasonable replacement for a video camera in some circumstances.
