@ftaok: You made me realise how ridiculous I sounded asking for an HD video capable DSLR
Personally, I don't think it's ridiculous to be looking for HD video capabilities on a dSLR. Here's my reasoning. When I want to preserve memories (kids, vacation, events, etc), I typically want to shoot photos. However, there are some moments that still photos can't quite capture (e.g. baby's first steps, singing recital, America's Funniest Videos, etc). For those times, a video capable device is needed.
I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated trying to use my SLR and camcorder at the same time. It's not easy to shoot photos right handed and video left-handed. I'm always looking for a place to put the camcorder. It's a losing situation.
So that's where the video capable SLRs come in. Since I value photos above video, I'll compromise on the quality of the video (if I valued video over photos, I'd get a camcorder with decent still photo capabilities).
For me, based on what I've read, the video modes of these SLRs aren't quite there for me yet. I'll have to decide whether to get a nice HD camcorder or wait for an SLR with a good enough video mode. The issues for me right now are AF and sound recording. Maybe when the successor to the Canon 50D comes out, it'll be just right. Hope my miniDV camcorder can hold out until then.
