From what I've read, a better option would be a system with phase detection autofocus such as Nikon 1 or a DSLR such as the Canon T4i that just came out . . .

Yes, I found that the V1 was able to refocus much more quickly and silently than a couple of P&S cameras that I compared it with when I aimed it at objects at varying distances from the camera. The good news is that this was indoors in fairly low light, so it probably was using the inferior contrast detection method to maintain proper focus. I don't shoot videos in general so I assume that focusing would be even quicker when shooting videos in daylight, since then the PD AF sensors would be used.
