In Minnesota, temperatures of -25 F (-32 F) isn't uncommon during the night
in winter. Windchills can be much worse, -60 F (-51 C) aren't uncommon
either. Getting back onto cameras, I have had them out during the day when
the high is about 0 F (-18 C) and my Ricoh body does fine, the solar cells
on the top help lower the dependence on the battery, I think, even after
several hours. The ZX-M seems to have trouble winding in the cold, I think
it's more because of the AA's getting cold.
BTW, 19 C is a t-shirt and shorts weather 'round here.
