*ahem* the coolant is transported to a radiator, which is cooled by a fan. Iarger fans can run at lower RPM which reduces noise and vibrations, also larger copper finned radiators are more efficient. Some Phase one digital backs have cooling fans - however these cameras for obvious reasons aren't recommended to be operated during inclement weather.
It would be possible to use a peltier heat pump connected to a metal like silver which could be used as an external surface on the camera - Silver transmits heat and is able to release it with a higher efficiency than copper or gold, however such a solution will likely be expensive - and add to the weight of a camera
Originally posted by Clavius Same goes for peltier cooling. The heat could be transported to the outer body of the camera though
Though peltier effect cooling is a power consuming process - and you have to be able to dump all the heat somewhere.

I'll believe that when I see it.
