I was going to buy a Sony A65, but the D7000 went on sale...

Hi folks,

I need some help/advice with my SLR purchase. For a while now I had made up my mind and was going to buy an A65. A few camera shops in my area have it on sale for $720 (body only). Then these same camera stores went ahead and put the Nikon D7000 on sale for $760 (body only). This has me re-evaluating my decision to go with the A65. With the D7000 so close in price to the A65, would I be crazy not to get the D7000? My concern with the D7000 is that it is now getting up there in age and I'm wondering if it is lacking features that you find on a newer SLRs like the A65 (e.i. HDR, tilting screen, better video capabilities, etc)?

Thanks!
