K10 is a rugged machine
I was out yesterday with my K10 in -25 C shooting mountains, lakes and lots of snow. I was dressed for the weather and remained outside for a couple of hours straight. The fresh snow was about knee to hip deep, and with a tripod plus a shoulder bag of accessories, my K10 took quite a beating hanging around my neck, shoulder, or attached to the tripod. Once back indoors, I left the camera (and myself) to defrost for a couple hours before removing the memory card. All photos turned out well, the cold had no effect on exposure, colour or quality (I use RAW+JPG files). I used to wear a big bulky jacket and keep my camera warmed up inside the jacket between shots. Lately I seem to have filled up the extra space, so the camera is out in the cold. So far so good.
Have fun and enjoy ....
