My video knowledge is hovering right around zero, but I do have some video capable DSLR's that almost seem to work. The 5DMkII is awful to handle, but the output seems great. The Panasonics are a lot better to handle, and the output (to my eyes) is just as good, but with more dof. Since this is mostly just to try out, I've not invested in any mics etc, so my sound quality sucks. Here in Vancouver hundreds of movies are shot yearly, mostly for Hollywood. It's a rare day that my work route isn't blocked or impeded by movie equipment, often many blocks long. In the last couple of years, I often see the big stuff, with a cameraman in a chair sitting behind the camera, a couple of slightly smaller rigs, and then some more with 5DMkII setups at various points. They seem to be everywhere. Sometimes just DSLR's, but often in conjunction with _very_ high end equipment.
