7D Over Heats

I have been shooting with the 7D and the 5D Mll for the last week and I have found that the 7D over heats at around 7 minutes after running, off and on, for about 1/2 an hour. It makes it very hard to work with a camera that wants to shut off. This camera is not a full said and done solution to a video camera. I wish it was. But unfortunately it is not.
I am a firm believer in the video DLSR craze and I think that canon, when it comes out with the 1D Mark lV, will have eventually put everything together that we need in a DSLR package. I hope.

When the 7D starts to overheat a small red heat signal comes up on screen as a warning. This is not good and at least it warns you. I guess it will be back to the ex-1 for now.
