EOS M as a B-roll camera?

Hey everyone,

As someone who has been shooting video with my 60D for a while now, I have been thinking about picking up a second camera for B-roll purposes. Has anyone used the EOS M as a B-roll camera successfully for any short films or other work?

I know that the M has the same sensor as the T4i, so quality wise its up to par. How are the kit lenses as far as manual focusing in video capture? Am I better off using lenses with an adapter versus the kit lenses?

Having to buy a $150 lens adapter makes it far easier to choose a t4i for around the same price. For me, a B camera needs at least the basic capabilities of my A camera to be a good backup.

i got it for this purpose...hopefully it will be good for for a 'safe" shot camera!
