Best DSLR for Video on a budget

[DRR]

Honestly I would worry less about features and more about usability, and lighting. Are you filming dark clubs? A sunny outdoor venue? The latter is going to be much more forgiving. DSLRs can give you great picture quality but it comes at the expense of ease of use. You may want to borrow a DSLR that does video from a friend, so you can get a sense for how it works. In my experience it takes a lot of work to get good shots out of a DSLR.
