I just got my EM10 and found the right side of the camera body getting warm after half hour of using. The wifi is OFF. Is this normal?

Are you keeping it ON for more than 30 minutes? I have not tested with ON for more than 30minutes

Wifi works fine once I worked with ESET anti-virus who showed my how to create a rule to allow the camera access. I knew it was a anti-virus problem since I turned off the firewall and it worked fine. Once its set up all you have to do is turn on the camera, go to menu and hit 'down load via wifi' and it takes care of eveything else, sends the pictures straight to PICTURES. Ater a few seconds the camera closes the lens since your not using it as a camera. Takes longer to download the pictures using wifi vs. a USB but I don't care how long it takes, its much easier than finding a cable. The Sonly has such a large battery I haven't had to charge it once yet either!

I just returned to the U.S. from 3 weeks in the tropics and the ambient temperature was never an issue. Also, when my camera was about a month old, I dropped it from chest level to hard concrete and you could barely see the nicks/damage in the side of the camera. I wouldn't leave it in the sun all day, though. I also feel lucky the camera landed on its side when I dropped it. Everything still works fine.

The design looks the same as in the picture. I've hadn't have any problem with overheating and I use my iPad quite a bit in the evenings after I come back from work, also I'm able to take pictures if I wish there is nothing obstructing the camera as for the size my is an iPad 2, the very ancient one, not to be confuse with the newer model air2, I don't even know that number is up to now, as you can see I don't keep up much the lastest arrivals. I hope that helps.

I had issues with this camera about one week after I purchased it and I really think it was heat related. It was only about 85 degrees out, so not terribly warm. But my camera started shutting off and restarting over and over. I brought it in the house, and the next day it seemed to work fine. I read that others had the same type of issue after extreme heat. I try not to leave the camera in the car now, but its problematic to always remember to take it with you.

It depends. EM10 - Wifi, faster processing, built-in flash, no weather sealing. EM-5 weather sealing, small accessory flash instead of built-in flash. All indications are that the actual image quality is pretty much identical. For me... I'd get the EM-5. But sometimes I wish I had built-in wi-fi.

Although I've read about it, I've never had the problem with my camera. There is a firmware update from Kodak to solve the problem. This is the link: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17507/kw/m580/selected/true

I got the same message, but it also says it's due to high temperature around the camera. I've only had mine for a week so far, so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the battery pack or something else. Worse case scenario, we can always substitute the battery pack with traditional AA batteries.

Not sure where I got this, but someone pointed me to detailed camera specs when I first bought the system. It said Operating temperature is 0º to 50º C (32º to 122º F)

I have the model with the additional display module. I does get a bit warm. I called PI and discussed this with a tech. He had me measure the OHM rating of the actuator which employs a copper coil and is basically an electromagnet that is in the solenoid the allows power to pass thru the unit. He indicated the some heat is OK.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

I was filming a school play when I ran into this issue.. i'd say about 30 minutes in is when it overheated and shut down. luckily i had my cellphone on me to pick up the slack.... I guess this is why they make camcorders :(

The real GS8000 get very hot. I have never herd of the knock offs getting hot though. If you live in a hot area you are going to want to buy a camera with a Capacitor and not battery. If i were you I would return this camera and look at ASIN B00JJ3SQRI

Mine has been running for over a month. It sits in an AV rack system, so I don't see it often. I just checked and it is only warm to the touch.

Mine only seemed to run "hot" if I were on a phone call for an hour+, but definitely not when idle. I've used it to take pics throughout a 45+ minute event and didn't notice it getting hot then.... Is yours running hot all the time, or are you only noticing this as you're using it (i.e. while talking / texting)? Also make sure you close apps you aren't using at the moment (flick up to close) as open apps require battery life to drain, which could be causing a heat issue....

I've left mine in full sun plenty of times. I live in Utah and it gets hot here. I had it installed during the last leg of the summer. It worked fine through the heat. But, once it got below 40 degrees, the camera started to malfunction. A lot worse now since it is averaging below freezing for the high here. It won't record when you turn it on. It shows the splash screen (startup image) but won't go into the video recording mode. I have to turn it off and on a lot to get it to record. Usually I have to wait for my window defroster to heat it up a little to get it to work now.

I got my d800e and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was the rattle. I held the strap rings and shook the camera and found out it came from the flash. I posted about it in another forum and was told it was normal and indeed it is because it's from the metal support that holds the flash up. No need to worry. Only thing to worry about is the left AF issue and the 10-pin connector going limp on you :).
