The only real advantage of the Nikon D3100 and D7000 offerings is full time auto focus while in movie mode. Of course once you throw that in having the external mic is even more important to get rid of the focusing noise.

The T2i is an easier for beginners , but if you are wanting to take your photography more seriously the 60D isn't a bad choice either. With such a small price difference, personally I'd spring for the 60D, simply for the better ergonomics and external controls. It all comes down the budget. As for a possible T3i/600D, I doubt it will add much to the table that the T2i doesn't do already, unless Canon has a 20+ MP crop sensor, in which case you'd need pro lenses to notice the difference in resolution anyway. As it is you need high end lenses to notice the difference in resolution between the T1i and T2i, but the T2i is much better for video.
