On topic.. I have the 6.4mp Canon Rebel and it's totally fine for everything I ever do. I bet you can get one real cheap.
Canon 5D MkII is quite popular on lots of small budget motion picture projects.

I just came from a pre-production meeting for a film project I'm working on and there were no less than 5 of them hanging around the meeting/party. These folks are all serious film geeks too, so that says something about what DSLRs are capable of.

Aside from the RED camera's, Sony has a line that dedicated video camera with specs better than the current crop of DSLRs.
