Is the T5i good for videoing or should I consider a nice camcorder for that purpose ?

Depends on your needs and subjects. The t5i or sl1 are ok for slow moving on stationary subjects. However, for action sports or on the go travel videos, a small HD camcorder may be better. Even Canon's $199 R series camcorders are very good for on the go and kids. Small,light, cheap, touch screen. Even $150 as a refurb. Obviously, there are much better choices available, but it's a very good value and the video are quite nice on my 55 in. TV
