If you arnt already, you need to be aware that using a DSLR is not like using the dedicated video camera. The auto focus is slow by comparison plus you need an external mic or you hear the lens focus in an out. if you are thinking of using a DSLR for video you need to be comfortable with manually operating, I've found that that is the easiest way.

I have the 5d Mkii and it's really good for shallow depth of field stuff because of the full frame sensor.

If you are just going to be setting it up on a tripod and film thunder storms it would be fine, it really depends on what you want to shoot though as they are not the best for every application.

Cheers
