I dunno. You can say all of this, but the flip side is that the camera should be overheating. You’re saying it’s not getting hot, etc. It’s cooling down super fast. Without good heatsinks And it’s a full frame moving tons of data. In a small enclosed body. you can measure what you want, and get results that seem one way. But just _thinking_ about what is happening without measurements, the camera _should_ be overheating for a time. I don’t think canon is so advanced that they’ve solved a problem that Sony and others haven’t solved. you’re also making a lot of assumptions. “Canon should have the exif data right Bc reporting temp is easy”. You can’t make any assumptions. Stuff isn’t working right, anything could be broken.

If the camera wasn’t designed initially to deal with heat (and sounds like heat wasn't even a primary consideration), a quick fix like adding a heat sink may not be feasible or do the trick even if feasible. The body and logic boards may need a redesign. This thing is generating so much heat that merely switching to video after an hour of shooting pics can be too much. I don’t think a puny piece of copper is going to be a some magical fix that makes this the perfect hybrid camera. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Maybe no one else is making a camera with these specs because they don’t want to damage their own reputation by shipping a camera that so readily bricks when shooting or merely even switching to video. One user, Gerald Undone, mentions that he merely shot about 30-40 pics for an hour in 30 deg heat, and then he switched to video and immediately got an overheating warning. That’s pathetic. And I can appreciate why Andrew Reid is claiming they’re opening themselves up to Lawsuits and similar based on false advertising. There going to take a beating with consumer confidence too. Lol, they’re already losing confidence from this. And it’s just the Beginning. I think a lot of casual shooters even work like Gerald Undone. Take pics for a bit then switch to video. So the announced video limits aren’t what many people will encounter in normal hybrid applications. They’re best case (Lab) scenarios. heh. Apple got sued and settled a class action for iPhone batteries merely not lasting well after a couple years. And Apple also replaced batteries at a Large discount. This issue seems so much worse than that and it affects brand new cameras.
