Exactly, but the tripods and stabilization equipment cost many times what the 5D2 costs. It's entirely a MF (manual focus, not the other MF) operation. That's fine for pros shooting House, but a pain for those of us trying to get a shot of the kids.

Have you ever tried shooting video with a dslr? It's not exactly point and shoot, at least if you care about quality.
