From what I've seen, if your subjects are moving in and out too much, your focus will flip out (even with the STM lens). DSLRs don't seem to be there just yet in terms of continuous auto-focus.

That has been my experience as well. The AF will suddenly start hunting made all the worse by a noisy lens motor. At least an STM lens would be quieter The Canon blurb for the STM 22 talks about smooth silent focussing for movies.
