Our reader Robin Chee performed an overheating test on the Sony A7V and concluded:

The thermals are fantastic.. I tested recording 4k60 to dual cards simultaneously with the lcd closed at ambient 30degreeC, with usbc power. It lasted 12hrs 59mins before the internal limit cut in and recording stopped. The only cameras to match this are A7s3 and FX series. Neither the a1ii or a9iii could match it by far.

If you’ve run your own tests, drop them in—I’m all ears. From what I’m seeing, this looks like a rock‑solid workhorse. No Open Gate, true, but it also doesn’t overheat like the Canon R6 III.
