Does using video mode on a dslr shorten the sensor life more that shooting photos?

There is however, a limited amount of time you can use your DSLR for video in anyone session before you do overheat the sensor. Consult your manual.
Yep, I think Nikon's D90 is 5 minutes max, but a video made from 5 minute segments between cuts, is pretty boring.
If all the current DSLRs follow the trends of the D90 and 5D MKII, they will automatically shut off if they start to overheat and won't allow you to operate them in some form or another after a count down or until the temperature hits a certain mark.
Yep...
I just looked up the manual for the T2i because the only reason I was going that route rather than a slightly cheaper one was because I like to be able to shoot video once in a while at gigs... so this thread had me curious and I looked it up.
A little symbol appears on the display if the temperature starts to get to high and if you ignore it and continue to shoot, It'll just shut off so it doesn't get to a dangerous point.
