Emanuel Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's not the cards. It's Sony packing tech into cute little packages that can't adequately dissipate the heat. They knew what would happen, but after crunching the numbers, determined that it's still a win for them. I think the question a lot of us are curios to know is if A7sii do the same?As far as possible to understand, yes. The heat comes from the processing for 4K recording and the compact design, not the sensor. shooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLarsen Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'm going to try this 40mm square heat sink placed right behind the screen. I got it off of Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhh, second thoughts have fun fixing what ain't broke. I'll prefer to focus on actually using the gear. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 So, is there some consensus on the overheating being a thing of the past? Anyone been using this FW for some time now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
