GH-1 is better than them all! enjoy :)
- when i say better i mean pure video quality (obviously crop factor is a preference)Hombre_Lobo

this is why you need constant aperture zooms for video and why I think the two lenses in that kit won't work out very well for you:

see the aperture change as it zooms?
- << this. f5.6 is not very wide - you'll constantly be shooting at high iso because of this.bigtrick

use primes... they are soooo much easier for video once you're used to them... follow-focus on many zooms is not nearly as smooth or precise, some zooms change focal length a bit when you focus, causing your image to jump a bit when you just want a subtle focus shift effect...
old Nikon AI primes on a $20 EOS adapter are my favorites... such smooth focus, nice contrast, etc..
shooting video on a 5D/7D/T2i with the $99 kit lens is not what it should be....

I used t2i / mkii / 7D
I prefer mkii. Quality is so much better.
When are auto zooming with t2i it's just not there.If you watch anthony bourdane on travel network, it's half shot with mkii.
- For a $99 you can get a 50mm 1.8 prime. This will be way better then the kit lens for video.nosaj
- +100 on that 50mm. Can't get a more useful lens for that $$.DoTheMacarena
- it has a terrible focus ring for video shooting. my only gripe with it.ephix
- I was watching the making of the India episode and they said they use 7D's. I have the 5DMKII and love it.bigkidfallsdown

don't get that piece of bad plastic 18-55

why not wait just another day or two for the 60D?
isn't that better than the t2i for about the same price, or did i miss something?
- 60D is $1000+ body only. Same as t2i (plastic body), but with articulated screen, intermediate ISO, and faster frame burstDoTheMacarena
- frame burst (but not as fast as 7D)DoTheMacarena
