I do not own any of the cameras above, but I can tell you that in terms of ergonomics the EOS 7D and D300s are both very comfortable to hold even with longer lenses such as the 70-200mm f2.8 variants. I would say that the Nikon MD-10 battery grip is in a league of its own compared to my Canon BG-E2N ergonomics <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
