Next week i will buy a 7D oder 5D II.

The 7D will perfect for my needs but i'am a little bite concerned about overheating issue.

I will do narrative film so that i will have no need for long periode recording. But the camera will be longer time in LiveView Mode for set up the sceen.

On a day i will record not more than 1 hour footage but i think the camera will be in LiveView Mode for 2 oder 3 hours.


Will be the heating problem the same with camera in LiveView Mode without recording? Will an extern monitior help in that case?


hope you can help me
