I have a T4i (actually, JP model Kiss X6i), and currently use the 18-135mm IS STM super zoom lens. This is my first DSLR after finally moving from my Leica R4.
I got the T4i specifically for the video AF and image stabilization, which works very well considering it's not a camcorder or full video camera. However, the AF can be overly sensitive.
Here's an un-edited sample I took in Italy in August:

I can't recall the settings off the top of my head, but it was a very bright day, so I think it was around a 125 or 250 shutter speed, ISO was 100 or 200, and the f-stop was between 5.3 and 8. Shot at 1080p, 30FPS despite knowing that it's slightly lower quality on the T4i than 24p (I prefer the smoother motion). No tripod or mount - just the camera and the lens.
I'm satisfied, but then my priority was stills first, and I couldn't afford the higher-end cameras. I also find the touch controls to be extremely efficient, which may sway you if you hate menu diving.
