How well does this oximeter performs in cold conditions (like out on the snow)?

Can't answer that. We live in the deep south where there is very minimal extreme cold.

You should not trust readings you would get form any pulse oximeter in those conditions (snow). The way these things work is by bouncing light off of blood in the finger. The fingers are one of the first things to lose blood in cold conditions. The pulse ox may read 90% when the patient is really 98% just because their fingers are cold.(EMT-B and DVM student)

According to the manual for the oximeter, the operational range of the unit is 5-40 deg C or 41-104 deg F.Hope this helps.

Well, I have never used it out in the snow, but I keepit in my purse (sometimes in the cold car) & I have never had a problem with it.

Slob,I don't know the coldest temp that the camera will sustain, however, I mounted one on my truck, see my previous post, and it has gotten pretty damn cold here in Colorado, sub zero temp with wind chill factor, and the camera is still working as if I had mounted it during the summer. It has withstood rain, ice, snow, sand, and a high pressure car wash. Still going strong. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

I have only used it in Florida and the summer in Colorado so I can not answer about cold conditions. It does ok on cloudy days, it just takes a while longer to charge fully.

I bought it for my husband who is a Pile Driver in Alaska. He loves it. He said you still need to keep it in your pocket or close to your body for warmth but you will be able to take pictures for about 10-15 minutes before it freezes up, then just put it under your arm to warm it up. A normal camera will not last a minute in the Arctic. If this camera can pass the Foul Wet Weather Arctic Pile Driver test I am sure it will work fine in the snow and mountains.

Just recently purchasing my alpha dog I have only used it a few times in the cold and did not have any problems. I always carry extra batteries for the caller and my decoy.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

I used a gauge similar to this one for over 5 years with no problems. I used it during the winter months but I can't recall if the temps were ever below freezing. The manual for this gauge says the operating temp is 0-100 F. http://measurement-ltd.com/docs/MS-4021-Product-Manual.pdf

I have one in the garage and it works great out there. In Michigan we have very cold weather.

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I am using it outside on a pole between buildings. We don't get down to zero, probably 30 with wind chill and so far no issues. The cable casing seems like it would be able to handle the cold. I felt it was a good quality cable housing.

As far as I know cold, rain and snow has no effect on their performance. I have not observed any diminished ability to detect motion to alert us to motion. I have been using them outside for 8 years or more. They use very few 9v batteries and have had no failures. Good equipment.

Cold weather and rain has been no problem for me. The unit is weather tight.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

I've used mine in all kinds of weather. Snow, drizzle, cold temps. I however do take precautions. Especially with rain and wet snow. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.

Mine went down to 5 degrees last winter without a problem. So far this has been the best camera for me to date. Batteries have a long life as well.

The coldest temp I used it in was about 25 degrees. It worked just fine. I highly recommend it.
