Great review. This … Great review. This guy should be on TV. He’s got great diction, knows his material, and has a bit of a sense of humor. Well done. But bloody hell, couldn’t you get a few more pics of good looking girls? I’m sure they were at the track.

my objective is to get the best quality images for sizes up to 36 inches …hopefully with auto stabilization,, excelent noise reduction,weather proofing and auto focus

Get thee to a Canon dealer…

what camera was … what camera was used to shoot the footage of the reviewer? I’m seeing chromatic aberrations (vignetting) around the edges – am I the only one who sees that? I’m wondering if a DOF adapter and an old school lens was used on that footage…?

Yes yes very much … Yes yes very much so — all DSLRs right now are recording video by only using manual focus.

No, shooting video uses a single shutter actuation, it lifts the mirror up and leaves it there for the whole of the length of the video clip – so shooting a video clip puts the same strain on the shutter as shooting a single still picture – and these cameras are rated at hundreds of thousands shutter actuations.
Plus, the sensor is absolutely fine, the camera is designed to shoot video in LiveView – no problems at all.
