I dont recommand any one to buy Nikon D90 for video. First of all its already too old. As a matter of fact it was the first DSLR to introduce video option. It doesn't have manual setting for video and doesn't perform well in low light. Its true that DSLR are not originally intended for the video purpose but if you are creative enough you can get best out of it. Some footage of the movie "Red Tail" were shot using Canon 5D MII. Also "House" season finale was shot entirely using the same camera. There is one movie called "Bad is Bad" filmed by some amature film maker on vimeo which was also shot entirely using Canon 7D. If you have time, I highly recommend you to watch it.

There are whole bunch of option for your budget. I'll give you some list of DSLR that I think is best on that price range.
i. Panasonic Lumix DMC. 
ii. Canon 7D. 
iii. Canon 60 D.
iv. Nikon D7000 (replacement for Nikon D90)

Personally I think Nikon is best for the still pictures because of its wide variety of lenses but for the video, Canon is the best If I were you I would put my money on Canon 7D. If you are really serious about DSLR film making 7D is the best choice for that price. As I mentioned earlier, the movie "Bad is Bad" was shot entirely using Canon 7D. But if you just lookin to play around with your DSLR then go for Canon EOS t3i. It will do the trick. If you want to do you own research then check out http://www.dpreview.com/. Good luck.
