So - can I use autofocus in the video mode? I have 7D and no matter what mode I am in - I have to focus manually - has that changes?

If you make $ on your videos, or you really care about your video quality, you SHOULD be using MF...but for "fun stuff", or personal stuff (read=not for making $!), then the new features of the T4i/T5i and 70D will make video AF pretty nice..IMHO..
I am eager to test out the 70D...but not gonna be an early adopter/beta tester..I will grab one in a year ;) when they are cheaper(hopefully)

I don't currently use my DSLR for video, but the new 70d might change that. I'm impressed by the demo videos and from all the reviews I have read, it seems like it works as well as advertised.
