Hello,
I myself am looking for the right film camera for me, but the camera you say that you are thinking of getting, is not really for filming. Yes, the cameras such as the Canon Rebel T2i, Canon 50d/7D/550D are great cameras, they are not for film. Although they shoot film, they are for picture quality, and mainly if you want to use these cameras for filming, the quality will be OKAY unless it is still footage. What you want, is a camcorder which are mainly for film.
For example, the Panasonic Pro AG-HMC150 3CCD AVCHD 24fps Camcorder (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-AG-HMC150-AVCHD-24fps Camcorder/dp/B001DKELYC/ref=pd_zg_rss_tr_e_172421_2) is slightly over the price of the Canon 7D. BUT, this camera is strictly for film, while the canon 7D, or the camera you are looking at, are basically for picture. So all in all, what you want is a camcorder and you can look at this site that gives you the "Top Rated Camcorders of 2010-2011", and it will display the price, features and reviews for many camcorders!
The Canon Rebl T2i shoots some pretty great video just as good as the Canon 7D, and I will post a link in the "sources" of some really helpful filming tips, where they are using the Rebel T2i to film the video.
But for the price under $800, I would look on that site for a handheld HD camcorder, or get the camera you want, but the Canon 7D is a very good option with proper lenses too, but the price is steep of $1500-$2000, plus $300-$400 for a good lens. :/
-Also you must remember that the camera is not what gives you good quality; it may help, but it is very minimal. You will need a good Lens for your camera to give it the best quality possible, and also look into lighting, and adjusting color contrasting and color grading when you are EDITING the film (look up some tutorials on youtube to adjust color to give it that cinematic look) so that way you have the best possible image. (I will give some links in the bottom that helped me with some film makig tips) Hope this helps :)

What is a good camera under $800 for making pro-like motocross movies? Best quality!?
Pat S
I need a camera that will take very great quality HD videos for a motocross movie that I will be selling. It needs to be under $800. THANKS
I'm making a motocross movie to sell in stores but the highest I can possibly go is $800. It needs to be compatible with Sony Vegas Pro and go into the computer through USB. Also, it has to be great with fast moving things, i.e. the bikes.
Answer
For the best quality I would suggest a Mini-dv camcorder but in your situation, you may be better off with a media card camcorder. I know the quality is not as good as a mini-dv camcorder but because of the huge amount of vibration the camera is going to be put through, I think a Mini-dv would spend more time being repaired, dust and vibration enemy of a camera. Forget HDD camcorders it will die very quickly, and a dvd camcorder does not even warrant a mention.
as for the model there are loads, its down to personal choice, and you need to find a camera that you are comfortable with. the best thing is to spend some time looking at some cameras, hold them get the feel for them. then make your decision.
Good luck
