Added (1). I observe that "big image sensor size" word are just use for marketing purpose but reality is Lenses quality and other factor even I observed that camera with small image sensor but with 4K video are giving better image quality then those which are with big size sensor.

Big sensors with top quality lenses beat small sensors with top quality lenses. Why? Better signal to noise ratio allows more accurate sampling and renders better tone separation and digital edge handling.

Best still photos from your list will come from one of the Nikon 5**** series. Best video from one of the lastest Panasonic mirrorless cameras.

Best compromise, which you haven't listed, and which includes video handling could arguably be Canon 70D.

Yes, sensor size makes little or no difference in video. Video, even at 4k, uses very little of the sensor. Sensor size makes all the difference in the world for still photos. The image quality of full size sensors, and the low light performance (ISO) quickly shows.

For a mix of stills and video, I'd go for the Sony SLT A-58.

For stills only, I'd get the Pentax K-50, which uses the same sensor (Nikon also buy their sensors from Sony). A choice made easier by the fact I don't like EVIL models.

High megapixels are a sales pitch, big sensors are ALWAYS better than smaller ones.

The first thing you're going to have to do is narrow down your list, start with a price-range you can live with, then decide whether you want the optical viewfinder of a DSLR, or the smaller size and lighter weight of an EVIL (the SLT A-58 fits into neither category, of course, with its fixed mirror and electronic viewfinder, but it shoots better video than a true DSLR). Then pick a couple of models you like the look of and handle them.

I say Pentax has the best kit lens. You can find very few being sold secondhand.
