How does the camera preform in cold weather? I want us it outdoors were temps can get below zero.

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?

Never used mine in extreme cold but it did great baking out in mid-summer heat for over two months in Memphis, TN.

I use a number of my cameras outdoors without any enclosure. I mount them under eves and in an area where they are somewhat protected from rain. After a year of use (in all seasons and in temperatures as low as around 10 to 15 degrees F, I have had no problems at all.

The coldest mine worked to was just below zero when the batteries died because of the cold. The pictures were still nice though.

I have had no issues with water as far as cold my lowest temp to date has been 30 degrees but the camera has performed very well since I have had it about 2 months

SLR cameras are not very weather proof, especially odeon cameras with sophisticated electronics. Need to be very careful about moisture and taking them from cold to warm environments. Depending on your needs you buy cases but these are expensive and limit functionality. Same goes for lenses.

We've seen -26 deg C, and the camera seems to be working, I've not had is for any rain storms yet. A couple of snow storms though.

I have used this camera to a temp of about -20 degrees F, and it took pics. However, it is not waterproof, do not buy this camera.

It depends on the distance from the camera, but I think it takes very good pictures at night. Keep in mind, because it's at night with infrared they are a little more grainy and black and white as opposed to the excellent color pictures in daylight. I have used mine year round for several years and have seen no difference between warm and cold weather shots, although the manual says the motion sensitivity is greater in the cold.

Hi Tom, I have had this camera under my porch deck since June and no problems, even with weather down to -8.

I have this camera and have used it outdoors, on my front deck, exclusively. It is semi covered from the elements. From rain, sleet, snow, temps at or around 10°, and high winds, it works fine. The only problem I have had is with the wireless features on occasion. I decided to go with ethernet due to the random loss of connection wirelessly. Otherwise, it works great.

We have one located outside in a covered porch w/o the use of the VueZone protective cover. Temperatures during the winter routinely dip into the 20s and we've never experienced a problem. VueZone claims the safe operating temps for their cameras are 14 -- 122 degrees Fahrenheit. You may have a bad unit.

Living in sunny California, I have no idea what -45F can do to a camera. Around here, +45F is rare. But electronics usually handle cold very well. Rain, sun, and wind are more likely to damage it.

I have not tried that yet over the winter. I typically use zoom or macro for that. I do most of my shots handheld.

Certainly. In my experience, the camera is durable, snow-proof, and resistant to impacts and jarring. Definitely pick up a spare battery, though... the ones they ship with tend to be duds.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

All my cameras are outside, but I mount them under the eaves of the house, where rain cannot get on them or the power supply for them. An alternative might be some kind of dome cover, but optics might be affected, and condensation would need to be controlled. I am in a relatively dry area, with low humidity, so my setup works for me. Different weather conditions could raise additional problems. My cameras did well over the winter...it does get cold here.

It worked in 30F weather today. The only reason it wouldn't work in really cold weather would be if the battery freezes.
