It's really nice that Magic Lantern has expanded the capabilities of so many Canon cameras. For this reason, among a few others, Canon is still a much better DSLR video choice than Nikon.
However, DSLR video is general is still a very special use format. Rolling shutter just kills it. Even 720p/1080p 60fps on the current bodies (2014) has too much errant motion to make a good camera. If you tripod mount it, and the subject is not moving too fast, it's awesome. Again, special uses only. It's not a general camcorder.
I wish this was not the case, but it is.
Maybe a perfect video DSLR will exist someday? We'll see. I'm guessing it won't exist for at least 5 more years, if ever. Video DSLR quality has not changed much in the past 5 years. The gains are always extremely minimal.
