As far as dslr video goes, t2i, t3i, t4i all do great! The next step up would be to fullframe which would be a great deal more expensive. If you can afford it, 7d, but honestly the rebel T series does great.

The impact of it's shots are striking, FPS is around 0,1.

Portability is an issue though.

what you need is a Leica. They are the greatest cameras you can buy if you are only doing video

If you really want DSLR video just get a t2i for peanuts.

Literally almost no difference from t4i accept price.

I personally have a t4i and have worked with t2i's and t3i's and I can honestly tell you that the difference in video quality between them all is very minimal. Although I am a fan of the flipout screen for getting high or low angles..

Its simple. If you are on a budget then get the t2i, if you want a flip out screen go for t3i or t4i.

An ARRI ALEXA mounted with an Angenieux's Optimo 24-290 f/2.5 will eat that little baby rebel as a light hors d'œuvre.

It's not much heavier either.

If u want an upgrade from say a t3i the upgrade would be a full frame and I would reccomend the 5d mkiii. But id say just get a cheap body like the t3i and invest in nicer glass. Glass affects image quality far more than body does

They clearly use a pair of matched Angenieux Optimo 30-80mm DP lenses on a pair of matched Sony F65's mounted to an Ovide 3D rig.

They spread the gear out and assemble on site.

You can easily take two Angenieux Optimo 24-290's in one backpack:

Hmm well you don't have many other options. Either you'll have to steal it and hire a team of illegal laborers or make your own. Other than that it looks like you'll have to be using a gopro
