canon dslr camera 550d image

My budget at the moment is about 2-3k, and I have NO idea about any cameras. I've been hearing a lot about dSLR cameras, but I have no idea how long they can film for. I also have no idea about HD cams or anything either.
My brother is crazy about picture quality. I would like to get him something he can continue to use and not have to replace. Again, my budget is about $2000-3000. Are there any possible cams I should look into? Thanks everyone.
Answer
Within your budget the maximum clip length is 12mins, which is 4GB, so for 8GB cards 16Gb cards you can double, quadruple etc.
Canon DSLRs are the best for video. The 600D, 60D are probably the best of the current bunch, articulating screens, mic level control. Should leave some budget for a couple of nice lenses, say a 50mm prime f1.4 and a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 zoom?
If your brother is serious then have a chat with him, it's a lot of money to spend if he has his dream camera in mind and you buy the wrong thing.
A lot of folk will tell you the 5Dmk2 is the one to go for, I refute this, the shutter rolls and it ties you to very expensive full frame lenses. It's good, but it leaves you no budget for lenses, and things have moved on.
I have a 550D and a 7D. If I was buying for video today I'd buy either a 600D or a 60D.

What kind of dslr camera should I buy?

I want to buy a DSLR camera. It would be my first ever DSLR camera. But I'm not sure what model should I buy. My budget is around Rm1800 to Rm2100. I'm going to use this camera on street photography and might take landscapes pictures. Please help me!!
Answer
For a budget like that I'd recommend a Canon EOS 550D/600D (but not the much more expensive 650D) or a Nikon D5100 or D3200 (Canon or Nikon are the best at these prices).
If you want to remain at this price, you may buy the camera with the kit lens (18-55mm) which enables you to take landscapes and if you have some money left or to spend more (not too much, about a hundred dollars) you may buy a 50mm f/1.8 lens (can be found at both manufacturers), a cheap lens with large aperture so that you can achieve great bokeh in street photography.
However, even when you don't have much budget (as I was when I bought mine) I would NOT choose the cheapest DSLR, i.e. Canon EOS 1100D or Nikon D3100...
