Sony A350 temparture tolerance

[Swen]

Hi,

Anyone knows what is the temperature it can withstand? The highest and lowest temp?

it's in the manual page 149, it's 0-40 degree C. In reality it should work better than that.

not really so. if you're shooting alot under the sun the ccd sensor may get too hot & the camera will stop working (first hand experience from a200)

I've used Sony cams is super scorching hot sun, the body heated to 47C. Worked fine. I've used them in -25C with windchill. worked fine.

The manual states the "guaranteed" operating range. But in reality, it has more flexibility.

Wow... you really follow the Sony's steps.....from 100 to 900

think what would be more of a concern is if your memory card can operate at <-0C
but then again they already stated operating temperature only till 0C, but storage up to-20C
lol some ppl with kingston cf got corrupted files...
so far havent seen any problems sandisks users. sandisk writes that theirs can operate up to -20C

but sandisk 8gb extreme III costs $77 and kingston 133x only $29... lol big diff in price...

what do most of u use?

The Extreme III is also a hell of a lot faster than the Kingston.

I think sometime is the battery & not the camera that maybe giving problem....
