One way to hold down on the heat problem is to purchase a small, cheap 
styrofoam cooler and keep it in the trunk. Get one about the size for a 
six-pack of Pepsi. Keep the camera and film in that. (No, get a second one 
for your iced refreshment!) It won't prevent all heat build-up, but it will 
reduce it considerably. I haven't noticed any problems with the gear I keep 
(only when I'm out shooting pics) in my trunk in an aluminum foam-lined 
equipment case. Of course a camera in the trunk is not as handy as one in the 
glove compartment. But - hey --that's why they make pocket sized point and 
shoot cameras.  <g>
