DSLR video guys, need help! Looking at picking up a DLSR here in the few weeks, don't want to spend a lot as pictures aren't my job or hobby, really I would be using it for videos...mostly racing, street & track, with the occasional pictures for myself. Looked at a T4i today but not deadset on that one or anything.
Anyways, I was looking for anyone that could help me out by posting or creating a video for me. Where I live, our highways don't have street lights hardly anywhere, so I would like to see how a DSLR does in this environment. Can't really find any videos on youtube, other than one someone linked me that are what I'm looking for. I know they look great when there is light around but I won't always have that.
Basically, this is what I don't want to be stuck with:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvQf0Ahs4U
Once the car gets out in front, it looks good but when they are side by side...NOTHING. My cheapy camcorder can at least get the outline of a car when they are side by side.
I was told this can be done on a DLSR by upping the ISO a ton. Any truth to that?
If someone would be so awesome as to have a DSLR and make a video for me out in the pitch black highway next to another car, that would be awesome!!! But if you can give me a link or just some info on things in general that make it would work as well. Just don't want to waste my money.
Any help is appreciated!

I think you are asking a lot of the camera. I will see if I can come up with a video tonight, I have a canon 7d. I am guessing its gonna be pretty noisey if the video is brighter than it is to the eye. I have not used my camera for video that much but I hate how crappy works compared to an actual video camera.
I have an old Sony with "night vision" that me work better. I think the new Sony video cameras are the **** right now.
Here is a video I took with my 7d. I know its not what you want to see as for your example but it is in HD and my daughter is pretty cute!!!

the only draw back on dslr is the zoom

you can only do so much with iso... the lens is going to play a big role in how much light you can get . also you have to manual focus as well. I think you better off with a video cam sony has some good ones on the market right now
