DSLR camera options - opinions/recommendations?

I'm a high schooler and a pretty advanced photographer for my age. I will definitely be going on to art school for photography. I plan on buying a Digital SLR with in the next few months so I can continue better expanding my portfolio. The only thing is I don't know where to start; I've been using the same film SLR for years.

I've been considering the Canon EOS 5D, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 7D, Canon EOS 60D, or the Nikon D7000. I was hoping someone could compare these cameras/recommend one/give any advice whatsoever?

Also, what should I be looking for in a camera? I know bigger sensors are better, but how do I find that? Thanks in advance!

'Subject is too dark, cannot adjust exposure' Nikon D5100 error message?

My brother recently bought the Nikon D5100 DSLR. Everything seems to be fine with it, except taking photos indoors (even with the light on and curtains wide open in the day) seems to be a problem unless you set the ISO to around 800 and have maximum aperture width and a slow shutter speed. OR alternatively just use the flash with everything else on whatever settings you want.

An alternate message if you adjust the settings to cope with low-light conditions is 'lighting is poor, flash recommended'. Now this environment in a well-lit room doesn't seem to me to be poorly-lit.Is this normal for a DSLR to cope with lighting like this indoors? He hasn't told me if he encounters a similar problem with outdoor shots yet, however. We're quite new to DSLRS (we have read the manuals etc.though).

Which lenses and camera for short films?

I was just wondering which lenses and camera should I get, as im stuck choosing them for making short films, music videos, may be you could help.
Now I have nikkor 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, Carl zeiss 50mm 1.4
I probably will get cropped sensor camera as its so cheap - 600D (altho Im hesitating between 5d ii, but I will get camera man when filming and they normally have there own cameras, so not sure… )
And was thinking of getting 21mm, 35mm Carl Zeiss ZF lenses, have them cine modified, but they are a bit expensive, for getting them I have to "sell my kidneys"
Is it actually ok to shoot 1 film with vintage nikon+carl zeiss mixed? Like wide angle shots all with nikkon and close ups with zeiss. Zeiss has more cine look, wich Im after, I do not want to have video look, at all!!!
Shell I just get 28mm to my 50mm zeiss and 20mm nikkor and it will cover pretty much, but Im not sure if its ok mixing them in 1 project.

Thank you for your time!
