I'm pretty sure by now most feature films and TV shows make use of the DSLR for some shots...

I have a video that I shot on our Christmas Facebook page with my still camera. It was a homecoming for an Army guy who's kids had not seen him in a long time.
The video came out OK. I'm not saying it didn't.
But the Canon HD camera has an adjustable gain and a shotgun mic that would have picked up every syllable of every word uttered from 50 feet away.
And this is really important once you get "into" shooting live performances. Zoom speed. It's super hard to maintain slow, even zoom for delicate nuanced details like facial expressions, etc. with a DSLR. They are not made for motion shots, so the zoom is fast, and choppy. A motion camera with a good zoom can make it look like you are a pro, with slow even zoom.
