DSLR

Advantages of DSLR Cinematography are that they are cheap cameras, they shoot full HD, can have a ton of different lenses and crush the DOF, use SD cards, are small, have large sensors and shoot well at night, and can do really good time lapses.

Some of their limitations are that they overheat, they only shoot 12 minutes nonstop, have CMOS sensors which cause Jelly Roll effects, can have shaky footage, and have no XLR input for sound.

The Sony ex3 with the redrock adaptor is great for video, but it's very expensive, and cuts a lot of light. Because it's big and heavy,  handheld shots are more steady.

a good video that shows how great you can make the 5D look with a simple glidecam. The details are super sharp and it's cheaper to get the set up, than a normal HD video camera.
