They weren't DV cameras. They were legit HD cameras.
Public Enemies was shot on the Sony F23


From what I understand the camera he used for Collateral and Miami Vice, The Thompson Viper, became obsolete by the time the F23 came into play.
But mainly, those movies were shot with shutter turned off with gives it that "video-y" look and Mann actually likes it that way.

Here's an article for more details.
