HI Christine - Nice gallery of shots!
WRT winter usage of cameras - I always do the zip lock thing when I bring my camera in from a day of snow crystal shooting. In that case the camera has usually been out in the cold for several hours. I do take the card out before I come in, though. I leave the lens set up all winter, but if I brought it in I'd bag it too. I don't know how much damage would be done to a camera, but condensation on the inner elements of a lens can really mess it up. I don't know how susceptible camera bodies are to damage, but I figure better safe than sorry.

Hi all, The past few days have provided a nice break in the usual action around here. I took the camera out yesterday, along with my shovel, thinking I'd get a few neighborhood scenes... Well, it was harder than I thought it would be, just getting out of my own yard... though I did consider strapping some tennis rackets to my boots as snowshoes... Anyway, a few shots here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23028562@N04/sets/72157632736739251/with/8464137448/ Now for my question... I learned long ago that it's a good idea, after being out in the cold with your camera, to bag it up in a ziploc & then let it come to room temp for a couple of hours before using/retrieving sd card, etc. All in the name of preventing condensation/moisture from getting into the camera & messing with the electronics, etc.. Here's what I wonder: 1) How many of you do this? 2) For a weatherproof camera, like the k-5, is this "less necessary"? Especially when combined with a WR lens...? Thanks for your thoughts... :) -c
