Ability to take great photos on AUTO, just point and shoot.

depends on ur budget and what u want to shoot ; + the extra cost of canon - as brenden says - why spend so much for auto - 3200 will be 700$ with 18-55mm vr lens - good buy - u will have lots of room left for a prime and a tele photo lens aswell

What sort of things will you be shooting? If you're just going to be working in full auto mode, both these cameras are likely excessive for your needs.  The first thing I'd do is examine why it is you think a DSLR is the tool you need, since one of the main reasons for buying a DSLR is to have added control beyond automatic shooting.

May I suggest that you look at the Nikon D3200, if you are looking for a camera with a great AUTO mode then that is your camera. If you want to spend a bit more you could look at the D5100, again great for general photography and beginner photographers. 

The D7000 has a much better colour space than the 7D, so if colour's what you're after then it's the obvious choice.

Another thing to think about is weight.  Both of these cameras are heavier than their beginner oriented siblings.  Seems like you have some extra cash on your hands.  I would recommend borrowing a camera and taking an intro class for dSLRs.  This will get you out of AUTO and allow you to take some amazing photos.
