Are there DSLR or high-image-quality cameras that avoid rolling shutter in video?

Rolling shutter in video happens when the sensor is read line by line instead of all at once, which can create a “jello” effect during fast motion or panning. Are there any DSLRs, or other high-image-quality cameras, that can record video without this rolling shutter artifact?

In Mastering HD Video with your DSLR, the author claims that only CMOS sensors suffer from the rolling shutter effect. A quick search shows there are currently NO DSLR with CCD sensors, so you'll have to settle for something smaller.
That does not leave many cameras that distinguish themselves for image quality. A few like the Olympus ZX-1, Nikon P7000, Canon S95, Canon G12 and Fuji F200 EXR.

Based on the provided answers, DSLRs generally do not avoid rolling shutter in video because current DSLRs use CMOS sensors, which are associated with this effect when read sequentially. The answer specifically notes that there are currently no DSLRs with CCD sensors, so if your goal is to avoid rolling shutter entirely, a DSLR is not the likely solution.
The suggested alternative is to look at smaller non-DSLR cameras, since CCD-based or different compact designs may reduce this issue. Examples mentioned include the Olympus XZ-1, Nikon P7000, Canon S95, Canon G12, and Fuji F200EXR.
In short: no DSLR is identified here as being free of rolling shutter in video; you’d need to consider smaller high-quality cameras instead.
