When recording with a DSLR camera...

They've got the swivel screens! Older models or not, they both have amazing quality, 1080p and can do RAW with MagicLantern

Ah didn't realise they had swivel screens - although they do the task at hand I personally always go for the most recent model I can afford in order to take advantage of the developments as well as maintain longevity.

I can't be asked messing about with flashing and MagicLantern etc. Like the OP, I want a simple to use device that does everything required. I can't see @Pearl wanting to flash the firmware and mess with MagicLantern etc.

Honestly flashing MagicLantern is really easy and takes tops 5 minutes! You can pretty much remove DSLR recording limit with it too.
The more recent features sometimes aren't worth the few hundreds dollars tbh.

Ooh, is this a software for the camera? :D

You can flash the firmware of the camera to unlock more features and functions etc.
If the firmware messes up though you could brick the unit in some cases.
On the other hand - if you are looking to use auto mode most of the time, do you really need extra bits to mess about with?!

Never tried it myself - havent had the need - but does look pretty comprehensive!

Personally, in your case I would buy the camera you choose, and get used to it a little before you decide whether or not you want to flash the firmware to get the extra tweaks etc.
TBH stuff like MagicLantern is for the more advanced user that wants to really tweak settings to the smallest detail.
