[QUOTE="Wahugg, post: 110945, member: 10685"] Sensor heating is just a myth ;) Well it may not be, but I have yet to experience any sensor heating with all the crazy stuff I make my camera do. I'm primarily into night time shots and time lapses, so by nature my lens is open for about 30 seconds per shot. Then if I am doing a time lapse, my sensor is being used for 58 out of 60 seconds per minute for up to 5 hours at a time. From all of that use, you think my sensor would get hot, but I see no reason to believe its hot. The pictures come out normally. The only noise in my photo is due to the high ISO I use (4000ish). Then again I do shoot at night where temps are significantly lower then the day time no matter what season it is. Next time I go out shooting for a long period, I take a temperature gun with me and see how hot the sensor is compared to ambit temperatures. -Wahugg [/QUOTE]
