DSLR or HD camcorder?

I've been trying to decide for weeks weather to get the canon t2i DSLR( hd video) or a sony HD camcorder both ideas are around the $700 range. i like making films, it seems like a dslr would be bulky and hard to shoot a movie on. on the other hand and hd camcorder doesn't take 18mp pictures and has about the same quality.

Which one do you think i should get/ reviews on one that you have.
