Is the video on digital cameras just as good as the video taken with actual video cameras?

I think that depends on the quality of video camera one buys.

They've used 5d mark II's to shoot episodes of the show House.

They also get used for lots of music videos.

Dedicated equipment almost always out-performs multi-function.

A related question. Does using the video feature of a DSLR "use up" shutter life or is another method used? Is shutter life more connected to mirror lock-ups so video only uses the same as one still photo? I'm guessing that is the case.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
