Does anybody have any experience with this lens?  DxOMark rates it highly, "This makes it the 5th best APS-C zoom lens tested on the Canon EOS 7D!"

As I do a LOT of video, I'm most interested in OS (Sigma) noise vs. Canon IS noise.  And yes, I know an external mike is best.

Not a lot on YouTube about this NEW "C" version. I'm looking for examples (especially videos testing noise) and thoughts--that's all.
When you care more about capturing DATA, as opposed to WONDERMENT, you've lost your creative SOUL.
