At the WPPI show in Vegas, I heard something that I thought was just sales talk. The Canon speakers said that the Canon 5D Mk II is better than any of the video cameras at the show.
No way, I thought, they were about 10 times the price.
One of the problems of Digital Camera for motion picture taking is the sharpness, not the lack of it, the opposite: too sharp. There is a built in software that will take care of that.
I also heard that BBC and Reuters only allow their photographers to take video with DSLRs and no single shots. I think the editors wanted control. Not too good for the future Magnums.

I was there too and there were some $29000 high end video cameras there. I agree that there may indeed be a place for DSLRs in film making. Certainly for weddings.
BBC and CNN allow photographers to use DSLRs because they have to broadcast on media as to achieve certain objectives.
