unless you have an external mic you will be disappointed with any dslr camera. the auto focus is incredible noisy almost sounds like gears are crunching in the audio. also auto focus with lenses is horrible because it zooms in and out back and forth until it thinks its in focus. in low light situations the camera has a really hard time getting in focus and such. at least thats my experience with t2i and the EF-S/18-55 IS II lens.

i havent tried shooting video with a lens that can be set to infinity focus.

overall any auto focus will take seconds of focusing in and out until its focus and is incredibly noisy without an external mic preferably on a boom. so if you want to take moving videos with autofocus on the fly id try to look into real video cameras. if you are staying stil and your subject isnt moving that much then its a great choice.

Shouldn't there be an option to desactivate auto-focus. As in manual focus?

yea there is on most lenses but if youre taking action shots where you are moving and your target is moving its incredibly hard to stay in focus unless you keep it at one focus and try to keep yourself in focus by way of keeping yourself at a set distance.

some lenses might be better at this then others like i said ive only used a 18-55 lens for video and keeping it focused is quite difficult. as a said though some lens have an "infinity" focus which might work better but i havent tried it.
