Just like to echo what Matthew said - both are very able performers and roughly equivalent as well in terms of where they sit in their respective product hierarchies. So much so it could have the potential to turn into a Nikon vs Canon debate.
On paper, the D7000 supposedly has slightly better IQ, lower noise at high ISOs, better dynamic range but in practice the difference will probably be very marginal. One thing I think the D7000 is able to do better is focus while taking video - with the 7D, once you start the movie capture you have to resort to manual focus.
Regarding Canon vs Nikon - Canon are generally more affordable vs the Nikon equivalents.
