New Canon 5d MkII dSLR can shoot stunning 1080p vi...
It should be noted that well over $10k in additional lenses were used to shoot that video.

Note a typical film maker probably only needs 1 or 2 lenses. They probably went overboard and used 8 or 10 different lenses -- but you can get 1 good lens for about $1000.

Canon's 50mm/1.4 is under $500, and is an excellent choice for a beginner.

Good call. Heck, the 50mm f/1.8 at $80 runs circles around any video recording lens. =)
No autofocus is rough though.
