Hi Glen,
What about taking the approach of just a heatsink & fan?
Would this not drop the sensor a few degrees without producing condensation?
My issue is that sensor temp in FNQ is often up around 38 - 39 degrees. Adding a Peltier would likely result in condensation (our dew point can be up around 23 - 24 degrees) which as you correctly state would ultimately be disastrous for a camera not designed for cooling.
My thinking is that if a heatsink & fan could reduce temp by say 5 degrees, I might lose some heat related noise but, avoid condensation?
What are your thoughts on this approach?
Cheers
Carlton

Having built a few cooled DSLRs I know something about this topic. If you can seal the camera in a dry gas chamber or membrain you may have a chance.
