But the odd thing is: when confronting experts from Canon with this contrast between analog & digital, they gave me many samples of arctic expeditions, where -20C apparently wasn't any problem. So even poor cold-performance of the Li-ion batteries can't be an argument (nothing beats NiCd on that aspect)....what's left is probably a bunch of chickens afraid of the legal implications from a guaranteed frost-level....
Bah. I spit on your -20 C. :-)
In Minnesota, it gets down to -30 and my EOS-3 works just fine. Haven't tried the 10D though. At that temperature, your hand tend to freeze to the camera grip, where it keeps the batteries nice and warm.
