7D overheat/ Firmware fix one day?

The overheating is caused by the new weather proofing coupled by the small body and the dual digic sensors... I dont see how a firmware update could fix any of that?

Just curious if this is fixable through a firmware update (maybe one day) if canon decides to look into it. any thoughts?
I doubt it. The heat could originate in a number hardware components, most of which are likely running as efficiently as they ever will. It's possible that a future firmware upgrade would make the processing of the final image somewhat more efficient in the camera, but I seriously doubt even that would significantly lower temperatures.
As others have said before: shade the camera, use a fan on the camera, or even strap on a cold-pack.

Just out of curiosity, did Canon officially state this, or is it conjecture?

sorry I didn't mean to make it seem like an official statement. No this is not an official statement it is a synapsis of probably ten threads on the overheating issue and the outcomes of said threads... this is simply a collaboration of ideas that many of us have. I haqve also come to this idea after my many months of using the camera in various conditions...

Right, right. Personally, I agree. Just wanted to know if I could tag Canon's name on there in the future.
