Re: Advice on Shooting Movies - My conclusions

Thanks for really helpful replies.

I went out and purchased the 18-55 IS STM. It solves the focus noise issue but sill gets out of focus (and hunts) at times when presented with big change in subject distance. At least it does this silently now.

With a nominated focus point to track under realistic conditions I am guessing that it will cope.

I did some zooming and it does loose focus at times then regains it. I assume that Canon recommends against using zoom during a shoot so that they don't have lots of complaints To deal with

I have pretty much decides on QuickTime Pro over Ex Browser because it allows you cut segments anywhere out of a video clip, not just the beginning and the end, for example to remove out of focus segments. It also allows you export to a lower resolution so that I can shoot in full HD all the time and export to a lower resolution for web posting.
