I'd seriously use a Zoom H4 or similar + lav for sound, on-camera sound for interviews can be weird due to Automatic Gain Control messing up the pauses when somebody's speaking and stops and starts again.....
I've used DSLR's (5D markII, Nikon D7000) for video, they're cool, but require tripod + careful production + lighting and control of the situation akin to shooting with a bolex... if you're cool with that, borrow somebody's DSLR for a test shoot and see what you get.
Switching back to a "conventional" video camera for a recent shoot showed me how forgiving they can be, and how unforgiving a DSLR can be....
- +1 for the Zoom H4, I use that too, that thing is perfect for the price and all it doesmoldero
