Early users of the EOS 5D II digged out various defects occuring in certain scenarios.
They were at least partially fixed via firmware. Yet I'm still using the factory firmware because it just didn't matter in the real life.
A camera getting warm after 2h of continuous use ? Oh my god ... the world falls apart ...

Hmm? The world falls apart?
Just reporting on a drawback of continuous live view (something that is already known from other APS-C cameras quitting operation after continuous live view/video/USB tethered operation).
I did not say it makes a Sony A55V or A33 useless, just pointing at a drawback about continuous live view.
About the 5D mk II:
I only remember one defect: RAW data could be misinterpreted and stored incorrectly when bright spots would be saturated/clipping, where all of a sudden totally full would be stored as totally empty (resulting in small black spots in highlights). That RAW data interpretation indeed has been fixed via a firmware update (along apparently with a lower noise banding).
For the rest it has gotten a feature update especially for its video capabilities.
Neither have to do with that live view makes sensors generating so much heat that manufacturers build in heat monitoring and warnings/shut down of functionality because of it, though. So I am not sure why you bring up the 5D mk II here <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

It is worth mentioning this about the A55V and A33 in particular, because these SLR like cameras are the first to totally rely on live view (with APS-C size sensors). In warmer conditions the "2 hours" naturally will shorten.
