I think you should go with Micro 4/3!

It's all about that H.264 hype!

Or buy a D5100...

Have you looked through color profiles on your EOS M?

I would buy a Micro 4/3 camera.

D3000 will get you somewhere. Though I do recommend you get at least a canon 40D.

Yes, it should work. Since both of those aren't powered by the hotshoe itself, just mounting something on it won't hurt.

Footage would be jerky/ghosting frames. AVCHD to MP4 is compressing into a smaller format. You may/or may not see quality loss, but it depends on your compression settings!

You might want to look at the GX7 or a used GH2 (Put hacked firmware for higher bit rates)? M4/3 is very versatile because of the amount of glass, but it does suffer due to low light performance. DSLR's will give you more shallow DOF and obviously the more "cinematic" look due to sensor size...

Just the metal plating? Well, there should be guys on ebay just selling that part for pretty cheap, so it wouldn't hurt to try it out.

The D3100 and 18-55mm is an absolutely tiny kit. If you want to go any smaller look at the Olympus EPL5.
