DirectShow vs. Media Foundation for video capture?

I'm trying to choose between these two APIs for a Video Capture/Monitoring/Streaming application, and I'm not sure which is going to be the best bet.

A bit of background:

I need it to work with a wide range of video capture cards/dongles.
The app will likely be developed in C++ so a native API is essential
Performance is important, as I need to handle multiple video streams

A bit of googling has given me the impression that

MF only supports video capture on Win 7
Directshow is better supported , but will become obsolete
MF can offer better performance in some applications

MF feels a better bet going forwards, but I'm concerned about ending up in a technological dead-end if MF doesn't 'catch on' and Directshow remains the API of choice. Suggestions and advice, please...

Solution

Whatever marketers from MS say, DirectShow is here to stay. Too many applications use it, so MS will support it forever, just as all other COM-based technologies. And since DirectShow has much more features and is native for C++ programming, I suggest sticking with it.
