I'm not Bruce but I've had the experience of using my *ist-D in
temperatures about 20� below 0�F the camera
worked fine until the cold temperatures caused the batteries output to
drop below the power needed by the camera.
Batteries are the limiting factor.

Hi Bruce
do you ever take photos out in the cold weather or rain or other difficult
environment conditions too?
I saw in the specifications of some digital bodies that they only work from
0 - 40 grade Celsius
or is that very conservative?
How good is a Pentax digital body under unfriendly weather conditions like
cold, moist, dust, sand and others compared
to an analog body?
just wondering
greetings
Markus

Paul,
I am just about where you are. At this stage of what I do -
portraits, weddings, events, some sports and scenics, the *istD is
doing just fine. The buffer thing gets in the way sometimes, but I
have to work around it the best I can. Most everything else works
well enough for what I do. I'm not a huge proponent of IS or AF - I
don't think that I would probably pay for an IS lens anyway. Usually
I am in need of either lighter lenses or have moving subjects where
the IS is really of no help. The amount of automation that I need is
more than present in the current *istD.
