Will be travelling to UK for a month, given the cold weather there now, will it be advisable to bring my camera there ?
Anyone got prior experience ?

Makes a lot of sense.There are more UK photographers than there are SG photographers. And none of them have any problems. Do bring your DSLR.

I'm keeping my eye on this thread, i'm going to the UK for 5 months! :bsmilie:
I was quite concerned about this too, but from what i have gathered from the other posts in the forum, apparently it's not so much of a camera issue. Possible problems are as follows:
1. Lens may fog when moving from cold to warm places. (solution - keep lens cap on when moving indoors, allow lens to warm up)
2. Battery life will droooooop. (solution - keep batteries warm and near body when not in use)
That seems to be the main issues with DSLRs in cold places. Of course, i haven't been there yet, so i can't tell you firsthand. But if you think about it, the people in the UK buy and use DSLRs too, if it works for them, it should work for us ya? :think:
UK is not cold. Climate-wise it's moderate clime zone. As Headshotzx pointed out: DSLR would be hard to sell in UK if there were any issues. Also, fogging is nothing to be scared about. If it happens, just wait a bit. I would be more worried about London rain, English rain, Scottish rain and the (in)famous cloudy skies you can get there in autumn Ask night86mare (once he's back) about his experience in UK.
Be wary of what you shoot there. Some places are sensitive (more than Singapore) and the police might stop you. Read british photography magazines and you'll know wat i mean.
