[QUOTE="AC016, post: 76895, member: 9619"] I would be very cautious in cold weather. The weather sealing will do nothing to combat below freezing temperatures. Minimum operating temp for a D7k is 32 degrees farenheit or 0 degrees celcius. THis is not to say that you can not push the envelope a bit. But don't think that the weather sealing on the camera will do anything to stop freezing cold weather, it won't. I have taken my camera outside in the winter - i live in Canada, so i know what cold is - , but i tucked inside my parka. I would say it was maybe negative 15 degress celcius out that day - i have experienced negative 50 before. The one problem with taking your cam out in cold weather for a long period of time is that when you bring it back in, condensation will form over the camera. Also, there is air inside your camera - duh, obviously - and that air most likely has some moisture in it. This is a good setting for things to start freezing. But again, i am talking a bit extreme. I have seen cameras frozen in a block of ice, thawed out and used afterwards with no issues. Our DSLRs are very well built. [/QUOTE]
