Excessive Heat on my DVX100B

Hi,

I was incredibly stupid and forgot to turn my dvx off when I finished with a shoot today. I packed the camera into a well padded case and did not open the case until around 7 hours later. The camera was very hot and still had some battery life left.

I immediately turned it off and unplugged the battery, opened up the tape slot, and let it cool off. When it was completely cooled down I put the battery in and it seems to be working fine, Thank the Lord. The battery started flashing soon after I turned it on so I haven't been able to go through a full check yet. The battery is currently charging.

My question is, how much heat can these things take and is there somekind of problem that I will be facing in the future? Has anyone had any problems after their dvx got really hot for any reason?

Thanks
 
yeah, I've done that before and left it on until the battry was gone. it was an 8 hour battery so it's pretty much the same thing I did.
but after that I never had problems with it so you should be fine.
well think about it, these cameras are not consumer cameras, they should be able to handle stuff pretty well.
 
Thanks,

It seems to be working fine. I tested it out today and everything was working like normal. I guess I should always take off the battery when I am done shooting.
