Re: Camera in cold weather help
When you have any device that is cold and you do not want to get it wet or even moist;
1) Before taking from the cold wrap it as airtight as possible. Plastic food wrap would probably work well.
2) leave it wrapped in the warm area until it is all warmed up.
This should prevent moisture/condensation from the warm area from forming on or in the device. Any moisture that was already in the camera when taken into the cold area should not be a problem.

The worst problem I have encountered in low temps is eyepiece fogging. I don't use the flipout because the cold is already shortening battery life so I use the eye piece and the warmth of by head/eye tends to fog up the surface sometimes. Could be I'm too hot, but I see no evidence of that anywhere else

I shot at -50 the other day. No problems so far. but I wouldn't recommend doing it often. Things get brittle when its that cold.

I used it in nearly -30 degress cold. No problem happened. I used Porta Brace but it wasn`t exactly fit to the camera because of video out cable and also the LCD use.
