A number of high end (still-centric) cameras are known for overheating problems during recording, even before the 30 minute mark is reached.

Using HDMI output and avoiding the compression and storage codecs probably helps with heat.

  • No doubt, but it remains that if there was a suitable market for the same camera + no record limit, even if at a premium to compensate for taxes + extra work, vendors would take notice and put in the necessary effort to engineer their devices to compensate for the heat. Without a suitable market, though, why bother? Design them only to the point that they can record for ~30 minutes and the market says that's good enough.
