Nikon D90

Surprise, surprise, I'm getting a new camera. The Nikon D90 should work (for me) just as well as my D300. It's also cheaper, and does video. The video feature isn't like the video feature in compact digital cameras. It allows shallow depth of field when used with the appropriate lenses and settings, and records in quality up to 720p. Further, the high ISO performance should be great, because it's using the same sensor as the D300.

I always said I'd wait until I had a kid to get a video camera. That's happening in February, so it's probably about time.
