Hi Paul & any other photographers out there...

I am going to Antarctica in January and have a Canon SX50 which has a very long zoom.
Are there generally any issues with cameras not performing low termperatures? Is there anything I can do to prevent issues?
Thanks!

the biggest problem with the cold, is your battery drain, so bring plenty of extras and keep
them warm in a pocket or next to your body.

keep your camera away from moisture and keep it covered when on a zodiac so you
protect it against salt spray and such. Ziplock freezer bags are perfect for keeping them
dry inside a camera bag. Or better put everything in a dry bag when going on land.

Thanks Paul - that's really helpful.
