I'm now using a Nikon D300 backed up by a Nikon D90 for stills, and a Canon HV20 with my D90 for B-roll for video.

I might get a Canon 5D-MKII in a month or so once I see if I can deal with the 30p only for video... its video is CLEAN and SHARP, with all the low DOF and low light sensitivity of a modern full frame DSLR... if only they give it at least 25p... or maybe I can get over needing a cinematic look and just cope.

The D90's video is amazing, but it is not sharp and it has some pretty nasty artifacts. I've seen frame-grab samples from the 5DMKII's video that would be indistinguishable from still photos to most any casual observer.
