Mnogi ističu osobinu ovih aparata da rade na niskim temperaturama.
Međutim, ja sam probao svaki aparat koji sam imao (izuzev 40D, on je trenutno na probi) na temperaturama koje se kreću i do skoro -20 i ništa im nije bilo.
Interesantno je da i Canon tvrdi isto:

Hot stuff and cold snaps
The specification of your Canon digital camera will probably say that its operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C. But
this is actually the range in which the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery gives optimum performance. There are many reports of digital cameras working well at temperatures well below this.

Simone Moro’s use of a range of Canon products down to -40°C. Similarly temperatures above 40°C are not unknown in parts of Europe and in many holiday destinations worldwide.
The trick in both extremes is to have a spare battery for the camera in an internal pocket of your clothing. As soon as the battery in the camera starts to affect the camera performance, you swap it for the spare one; you can alternate the batteries in this way for quite some time. In the extreme cold, some photographers use small hand warmers (which produce heat by chemical reaction) to keep the battery active.
Moja iskustva nisu baš tako ekstremna, ali moja oprema jeste korišćena na temperaturama višim od 40°C i nižim od ~17°C. Nisam obratio pažnju na trajanje baterije, jer "foto-sesija" nije trajala baš dugo u cugu.
Mnogo je bitnije ne zaboraviti na period prilagođavanja temperaturi, kada je oprema najizloženija pojavi kondenzacije. Zato nakon ulaska u toplo, odnosno izlaska u hladno, OBAVEZNO treba sačekati oko 15-ak minuta da se oprema prilagodi i to unutar torbe.
Pozdrav
