[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 9085, member: 654"] Imnunky, there are a number of very good reasons I live in Atlanta and -10 degree Celsius is on the top. M.Hinch, I have a "rain coat" for my D90, which is only water proof rip stop nylon. I find it clumsy to use and difficult to change settings. With all that padding I would think it near impossible to make the necessary changes. If it's that cold you will be wearing gloves as well. You would also have to open it up to get to the wheels and dials which would defeat the purpose of it in the first place. I've talked to professionals who have shot in very cold weather and their only problem was with the batteries dyeing very quickly. However they all said the Nikons performance in the cold is quite good. Most everyone I've talked to says the main problem is condensation that occurs when taking the camera and lens from a warm environment to cold. The recommendations for that is to put the camera and lenses in a sealed plastic bag before taking them into the cold. Then let them acclimate to the cold for about 20 minutes before taking them out.
