I've recently started using a 5DIV for very prolonged sessions of live video streaming. I'm streaming at 1080 resolution, and feeding that video out of the camera via USB to a laptop where it gets streamed from there.
My question is, is there any detriment to the camera just leaving it turned on and in video mode for long periods of time, frequently? I'm talking like eight hours at a time, once a day. The focus is fixed, so it's not like I'm wearing out a lens focusing motor or anything. The camera doesn't seem to get warm or anything, so I think I'm good. The only detriment I can imagine is that I might get a little more sensor dust since the shutter is hung open so much of the time.
Somebody else must subject these things to heavy video use, right? It was made for this, right??
