Sony A55 / A33 Overheats in Video Mode
Sony Japan have stated that the new A55 and A33 cameras suffer from reduced recording times when using the video mode due to the camera’s sensor overheating. Seemingly exacerbated by switching the image stabilisation on, the A55 can only record up to 9 mins of video at 20 degrees celsius and 6 mins at 30 degrees, while the A33 fares slightly better at 11 mins and 7 mins respectively. Turning the IS system off substantially improves those times, so you’ll have to dispense with it and use faster shutter speeds to maximise the length of a continuous video clip.

The overheating issue is blown up for no reason. A55/A33 do 9-minutes with IS and 29-minutes with IS off. That's better than most DSLRs.
D5000/D90: 5-minutes (No IS)
7D/5DII: 12-minutes (No IS)
A55/A33 29-mimutes wih IS turned off is way above average.
