I'm shooting a snowboard video with GoPro 3 Black and my AF100. I'd like to bring the AF100 to get some cool driving shots and establishing shots and what not, but I'm not going to snowboard or do follow cam with it I'm going to use the GP3Black for that. My only concern is in 15 degree F temps leaving the AF100 and lenses in car and shooting up there. Any worries with the temps and condensation in terms of the lenses or body and leaving it in the car all day?

I've had to do things like this in Alaska, but probably in much drier conditions than you might get in the cascades. If you can keep the camera reasonably clean on the day and then stick it in a pelican its really the best you can do. As lots of people have pointed out in other posts, indoor/outdoor transitions cause condensation/icing situations. When it gets really (really) cold, the biggest issue is the camera persons breath icing the viewfinder and even the lens. FWIW I've worked full days -15 to -25f with wind, in and out of a marginally heated helicopter with the AF100, the only issues I experienced were with lens functions (Lumix) literally freezing up, that and we killed an externally mounted gopro.
