Answer
B&H Photo sells them, but NONE of them are cheap.
If you wanted cheap, you needed to buy a consumer level camcorder that shoots Full HD and has a 40x optical zoom for under $130

Why do filmmakers prefer DSLR Cameras instead of Camcorders?

I have noticed this lately and I am just curious to why filmmakers prefer DSLR style cameras instead of Camcorder style Camcorders. It just seems quite odd to me :/
Thanks!

These things are a matter of opinion, there are pros and cons to different styles of cameras and what you have to do is work out which one is best for the movie shoot you are doing.
DSLR cameras have many pros (as well as many cons), mainly down to image quality. DSLRs were originally meant for photographs, so the sensors in them are massive. This is very important because it gives an incredibly sharp picture. They way they compress the images, and the lack of interloping makes them sharper, less blurry and in general more attractive. They also have interchangeable lens, so you can use appropriate primes for your shoot, rather than being stuck with one zoom lens that you can't take off. They most attractive thing about them is their price. They are incredibly cheap compared to an equivalent camcorder, and with money being a hard thing to come by this is a big pro! On top of this, they are small and light weight which does make them very useful for getting that shot that your camcorder is just too big to fit place. Their weight make them ideal for easy to use stedi-cam rigs, jibs and those sort of moving camera rigs.
It may seem odd, your right. I personally prefer using proper cinema cameras (the Red Epic is my favourite), but they simply do cost far too much for a lot of people. DSLRs are used more because they are cheap and easy to get hold of.
All the best,
