@significantztouch : First of all I think you should not compare DSLR's to videocamera's at all.
Then there is the big difference that this is a shoulder mounted camera, built with ENG-capabilities in mind (ENG = Electronic News Gathering, it's like a form factor for even bigger shoulder mounted camera's) while the 5D is a camera that you hold in your hands (ok, there are all kinds of extension constructions for making it a shoulder mounted camera, but, I think they are far from perfect.)
OK. Cameras are for pictures, right? Camcorders are for videos, right? But what the hell the Canon 7D DSLR make HD videos betters that any Camcorder of HD around 6k to 8k and it only cost $2,129. And as a Videographer a need to pay 6K to 8k for a HD camcorder and it get worst, those camcorder are 1/3 CCD chip,the worst thing in low light situation. Check this video "Canon 7D movie - Another night in Beijing" This is proof that SONY,JVC & Panasonic only whant to F... Y.. until they can't no more.

the stock lens sucks :-/

On the end you see lowlight footage.
The second possibility is slow-shutter up to 1/6 or you can work with gain (+12db is enough)
