As we have discussed frequently here on IndieTalk the audio implementation of DSLRs is quite substandard. It is best to treat DSLRs as film cameras without any audio capabilities at all - until you get to post.
You should get a decent quality audio recorder and a shotgun mic kit. Yup, it's going to be (relatively) pricey; between $500 and $2,500. The less money you spend the more potential problems you will encounter.

Yes, you can connect a mic directly to your DSLR camera, although I do not recommend this.
My primary recommendation is to hire a pro sound team. Since this is way beyond what most indie types can afford, the next recommendation is to hook up with an ambitious up-and-coming production sound guy/gal; s/he will have the gear and more knowledge than you currently have, and it will take one burden (production sound) off of your shoulders when you shoot.
I also recommend that you go through my posts on sound-for-picture and those of AudioPostExpert. You may also want to spend some time at FilmSound.org (an all around sound-for-picture site) and jwsoundgroup.net (a forum for production sound professionals).
As I mention frequently, it is the skill with which you use the tools you have, not the tools themselves.
