I have a 5d Mark II (upgraded from a T1i) and plan on using it for videos. I am perfectly aware of the technical difficulties in using such a camera for video recording. But like you said, the video quality WOW! Yes it is more technical than a standard video camera but the quality will blow you away. If you have a laptop you can tether it via Canon software so you can see yourself. You can buy a remote control (Weird the T1i came with one) RC-6. It's $25 bucks and works with most Canon DSLRs. About the focusing, yes probably the hardest part for self video taping. One thing to keep in mind is you can mess with manual settings for video so that the DOF is large enough for wherever you plan on walking around (I don't .... for now) you'll be in focus. Yes, more technicalities so your readers should go ahead and give you a call! One last note. What do you use to process your photos? Lightroom speeds it up mightily. And if you have time, carry a little gray card around and set a custom white balance for each spot you go to. Takes 10 seconds. Saves you a ton of time later in front of your computer. Interesting.
