I was going to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.70 because of the rear camera & Extra storage through Mini SD
But i hear the Nexus 7 is a better & faster tablet.
What can you tell me to convince me to buy the Nexus 7

The Nexus 7 is a faster tablet. It's got a quad-core processor. It's got a much higher-resolution screen. It's got more built-in memory. It runs the latest Jelly Bean so you get the native swiping keyboard, the multi-user support, lockscreen widgets, and the full-on vanilla Android experience like Google intended. The loss of a 3 megapixel rear-facing camera seems like not much of a loss to me, personally. And you can get a 32GB version that will have plenty of memory for most on-the-go users, and get an OTG cable to attach a USB thumbdrive if you really must have more.

But if a rear-facing camera and Mini-SD slot are dealmakers for you, the Galaxy Tab is a solid fondleslab at a reasonable price.

You should do your own research and come up with a conclusion on whether it's worth buying the N7. We're not salesclerks here to serve you.

Wish I could claim credit, but TheRegister has been calling touchscreen devices that since the early iPhone days. I loved the term, so I shamelessly stole it, and feel free to do the same.
