"can put out a better quality product than a $15,000 HD video camera"
i doubt that, raw video? im sure the 15K camera will obliterate what the 5D Mk II can do. in terms of how you treat, process and render the video, then yes, its possible the 5D Mk II can show comparable results if not better but again all depending on how each material is treated thereafter.
there is a reason they cost that much, same reason why medium-format cameras are beyond the everyday consumer's reach, same reason why not everyone owns a Ferrari, theres a reason it carries that price tag. however the 5D Mk II allows for greater use by the indie crowd as you said but dont try telling me a proper 15K+ unit cant surpass video from a 5D Mk II, it def can and it def will given the professional post-production work that will be done by those who can afford to use those units.
btw the House finale was amazing however im sure im not the only one that noticed the very shallow DoF....
atm whats truly holding back HD-SLR cameras is the lack of shooting raw video. but even then. you wont see it replacing dedicated video equipment amongst those that can afford its use. it will be there to supplement.
