I've just added links to three videos on Canon's YouTube channel in the Where can I learn more about shooting video? section of the unofficial Rebel Talk FAQ. Let me know if they're any help.

Thanks, that was very useful. There are so many options, knowing where to start is a big help.

I think that I will start with A+ and AF, using the touch screen to set the focus point and see where I go from there.

Any thoughts on lighting? I think that the Manfrotto 36 LED array is more effective than the single LED Speedlite 320EX.

I am thinking of investing in a prime STM lens, if for no other reason that it will be quieter. I get the impression that they are supposed to be stable for movie shooting as we'll. I think test I saw a 22mm at a reasonable price.

I have been using the 18-135 stm on both the t4i, and, 70d, both cameras with than lens, stunning video, IMO, enough so, that it has encouraged me to do considerably more video, video captures an element that only video can, we are very fortunate to have cameras and lens that are capable of recording both excellent stills, and, excellent video.....the only upgrade I am researching, at the moment, is a convenient, auxiliary microphone, and, more storage....video is large....but worth it, IMO......
