I also recall - but I can't quickly find it - a recent discussion - and maybe Ted chimed in - about the need to put cameras (and particularly digitals with their complex electronics) into a plastic bag before going back into a heated environment from the cold, to protect against condensation on all the chips and such. I gather you haven't seen that problem; perhaps because although you have snow it is not cold enough to be a problem. --Bob
