I've had condensation form in the viewfinder window, which is a bit of a nuisance. Like Paul, I've not had any form inside a lens, but that may be because I haven't "exercised" the lens (which would draw moist air inside it) until it has warmed up.
I've done lots of winter shooting in which the camera got =well= chilled (3 hours shooting ski races, for example), and have never had a serious condensation problem, even with cameras (like the (P)Z1-P whose bodies aren't the least bit sealed.
