i was recentley shooting exteriors in very cold weather. By the end of it, my camera was frozen. Was just wondering if anyone has encontered any problems with their camera after being in very cold weather?
 
Condensation is probably your worst enemy, when you bring your camera in from the cold. If it gets cold enough, the lubricants might degrade or the tape get embrittled, too - but that would be pretty darn cold.

i was shooting a short film all winter night exterior in a parking garage with 2 hvx's and a dvx. we had to strap handwarmers to the battery packs and lcd's because the batteries died real fast and the lcd's started refreshing slower and slower and slower....
it was rough, but never any damage
