Is the Xacti E1 hardy enough for freezing weather? Any suggestions?

Yes, I've been outside for hours taking video's of my kids sledding. Works great, even after dropping in snow and water.

I havent had the opportunity to use it in temps that low. I do, however, suspect it will be susceptible to water and ice, as it does attach to the license plate frame and will be out in all kinds of weather. So far it has done what I wanted it to do. I did wrap all connections in electrical tape, as I think moisture will be its main enemy.

I believe that is the only limit available. The idea is to give you fair warning above freezing. Spend more and you get more features.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

It has worked well in temps below 50 f. I have not run it any colder yet but I feel it should have no problems. It starts instantly.

So far I haven't had an issue with the cold. I like in northern North Dakota and it's worked great so far. Battery life is a bit shorter but I get the rechargeable batteries

The Canon EOS-1D X is definitely good for any weather, anywhere in the world because I have taken it to many continents for photo shoots, from the high Arctic down to the southern tip of Africa and many places in between.

Being in NYS, this camera just survived Sandy's furry and lived with no issues. so i can attest to its water resistance. As for battery life in cold temps, unless you find a game camera that is insulated, or figure out a way to rig it up yourself, theyre all going to be about the same. that's not really up to the camera. more up to the batteries that you use in it.

Yes this is not cold hardy. So if you reach the 30's, take it in. Mine have grown all winter in a sunny window quite well.

It depends on temperature and frequency of activation. I'm in NY and it's' been very cold. After about 2 months the units performance became erratic. Just replaced the batteries and it's working well in the snow and fridgid temps. Keeping the dogs away.

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

I had them outside a full year and we had one of the worst winters ever. They still play great. Only problemwas the glue that holds the face screen on gave out and I had to reapply with silicone calk.

It's been great for me. I don't have a thermometer to chech it but it's been perfectly cold enough for me, and I live in Florida. What's cold enough to you may be semi-frozen, it's not that.

Have it in hand now and am stocking up on extra batteries, charger, case, memory cards, etc. but like most of us I work and it is still snowing from time to time where I live. I have not put it to the test yet, plan a trip to Yosimite and Carmel Beach next month and will be better suited to come back and fill you with info...stay tuned.

I, too, tested the low temperature alert on mine by putting the unit in the freezer. It worked just fine and the WiFi signal was strong enough to get out of the freezer and find its way to my router. I didn't leave the unit in there very long. I think the only way to find out how it will work for long term usage in a freezer is to give it a try. Batteries don't work well at low temps but you can monitor the battery status remotely. Good luck - I hope it works for you.

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

The main thing is to get a high-quality cord so it will stay flexible in the cold. I have a very stiff cord that's orange and black that is difficult in the snow, or an orange one that is quite soft/flexible, which makes a HUGE difference. Spring for a really good cord and you'll find it easy to flip out of the way, instead of having it constantly wrestling with you.
