[QUOTE="AC016, post: 102419, member: 9619"] You should be slightly concerned. I was in Ottawa last week and on Wed and Thurs, it must have been -20 or colder with the wind. My 5100 mis-fired twice. I framed the shot, pressed the shutter button and nothing. I looked at the LCD screen for any warnings while pressing the shutter button again and again, nothing. After a few seconds, the camera fired. Not sure exactly what froze, but something got a little to cold. Other than that, it worked fine. But do keep in mind that Nikon has environmental limits on their cameras for a reason. If you are going to use it in the cold, make sure you dry it out/warm it up when you bring it back inside. You want to let it dry out for a while before turning it back on. Moisture can build up inside and maybe short circuit something. I might add that my finger was so cold, i could hardly feel the shutter button, so perhaps i was not even depressing it far enough, lol. [/QUOTE]
