ckcarr Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · D600 and cold Looks cold. Honestly, I expect nothing less from the Nikon camera bodies. My Nikons have never had an issue in the cold. I've stood on the bank of the Colorado River when it was -11 f. for over three hours once with my camera sitting on a tripod. Only had to change a battery once in that time, and don't think I even needed to do that. Jan 22, 2013 at 04:08 PM

runamuck Offline • • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · D600 and cold A few weeks ago somebody posted here about leaving Nikon because his camera would not function below 32 F. Of course, there was never any follow up to tell us the resolution. I'm aat the age where functioning in weather extremes is not something I want to do. I went to a meeting last night and it was 5 degrees F when I got home. No way was I going out with the D800 to check cold weather performance. All my other Nikon gear works well in the cold. There is no reason the think the new D800 won't. Jan 22, 2013 at 05:26 PM

TaTaToothy Offline • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · D600 and cold Very nice! I love seeing great shots with the kit lens, since for the time being I am going to be using it much of the time with my own D600. Jan 22, 2013 at 05:37 PM

Hardcore Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · D600 and cold I love the d600, but the mode dial is horrendous to use in cold weather. Much prefer Canon's or the D800 in that regard. Other than that, the d600 is top notch! Just make sure you have the correct mode in before you jump out of the vehicle Great photos! Jan 22, 2013 at 05:51 PM

Steve Perry Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · D600 and cold Had my D800e out at Bryce last week. -20 air, windchill near -40, was out for an hour+ each time. It just kept right on working. Wish I could say the same for my hands Jan 22, 2013 at 05:57 PM

davidnholtjr Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · D600 and cold Nice shots. But -20 below is to cold for my butt. Jan 22, 2013 at 08:31 PM

Dpedraza Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · D600 and cold I was out earlier it was only -9 with windchill and the camera performed flawlessly. I had to put my gloves and hat on but wasn't too terrible Jan 23, 2013 at 01:11 AM

Two23 Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · D600 and cold Guys---think a little bit here. Windchill has no effect on inanimate objects like cameras. Windchill is for pussies anyway. As for cameras working at -20C, I'm not impressed Why wouldn't they? I've been taking winter photos in the Dakotas and Minnesota for 20 years in temps a lot lower than that. I've had no problems, except a couple of times rolls of 35mm snapped in half. I typically stay out for 4-5 hours at a time, usually taking night photos. Kent in SD Jan 23, 2013 at 01:24 AM

nick53097 Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · D600 and cold So it is a great little camera that works in any cold (just like any other Nikon), and dirty spots on the sensor were easy to clean. Good for travel light. Jan 25, 2013 at 12:39 PM

VinnieJ Online • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · D600 and cold IMO, the D600 is the best bang for your buck DSLR. Jan 25, 2013 at 03:05 PM

However, I think the wind would cool the camera down to the ambiant air temp much faster the stronger it was blowing. So if it's -20 or something the camera's temp would drop much faster if there was a good wind vs steady conditions. - and I've had film snap too - always sucks! Jan 25, 2013 at 07:40 PM

So if it's -20 or something the camera's temp would drop much faster if there was a good wind vs steady conditions. When I go out, usually at night, I'm out for three, four, five hours or longer at a stretch. It doesn't really matter how long it takes the camera to cool down. Ultimately, it's going to be at ambient temperature. Also, I usually set up out of the wind anyway. Kent in SD Jan 26, 2013 at 05:24 AM
