Can Canon G1 work in sub-zero degree condition?

[RedDevils]

Hi bros and sis here,
will be going to korea for skiing at end of the year.
Wonder if the Canon G1 digicam can function in winter condition?
Has anybody tried it before?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Cheers!

Hi RedDevils,

Should be no problem, but the battery performance will be reduced in the cold. Also need to watch out for condensation when moving from cold place to warm place. Remember to use Flash CF rather then Microdrive as MD won't function properly at high altitude. Hope that helps.

Thanks ziploc,
Guess I will have to source for another spare batt and additional CF card for this trip .

Cheers!
