keep it comin guyz. i have the same dilemma with the OP. The wind is blowing me towards Portraiture and I guess you'll probably get more juice(paid jobs) in portraiture than in landscape.
BUT BUT BUT seeing the new t4i tech, i'm excited to the 70D. sure enough i will miss the flippy screen. The romurs of it move up as the top canon aps-c tickles me. New processor and new sensor. Adapting the 7D AF system. What else could you ask for?
Anyone show me nice results in portraiture using crop bodies to keep me in crop.
Here are a few from the 7D.

I can remember how excited I was when I first stumbled onto this site and saw all the great photos posted by the members here. It made me want to ditch the ancient rebel xt/kit lens and get some real pro gear.
And so it began as I knew I needed a 1D series and a 70-200 f/2.8 lens because if you're serious about producing a professional grade portrait then you have to have the best, right?
Well I did learn after a few thousand dollars that I should have invested that money into my photoshop/photography skills earlier and heeded the advice by many on here about getting some good glass first and learning how to work with both natural and artificial light when taking photos.
My advice to you would be if you have the dispensible cash then why not have the best available equipment for your particular type of photography? But in the case of say a 5D MII compared to a 7D with compareable glass such as a 135L f/2 or the Sigma 50 f/1.4 the difference will be negligible except at very high iso's. And the majority of portraits are shot at low iso's so that point becomes moot.
