What else are you going to do without continuous video AF anyway? Even that's still pretty unreliable.
And even with a fixed rig you're still limited to movement along the focus plane (or within the depth of field).

Is there any external microphone (3.5mm? Wireless?) that would work well at picking up a professor speaking without lots of reverb from the speakers, and potentially be discreet. Because it would be serving double duty for me, price isn't that big of an issue (to a point)

edit: Also, Canon snob here, but Nikon really isn't competing in the video arena at this point. Especially at the Rebel's price point.

M4/3 has very short registration distance (mount to film plane) so lots of old glass (including rangefinder lenses) can be adapted easily and without glass.
