David, First of all, if that's the average temperature, and not merely the average HIGH temperature, avoid the area altogether :-) Don't leave the cameras in the sun or in a parked car in the sun. Otherwise, they will be fine. You, on the other hand, would do well to do most outdoor photography either in the morning or evening, when the heat is not too intense! Jeff
