Hi as a few of you know im headed to canada in january and hoping to take loads of photos the camera im borrowing takes aa batteries and im wondering what people have found are the best batteries for a digital camera in cold weather?
I know this is quite what you are asking, but for extreme cold I find it is often good to carry a small old (as manual as possible) film camera as a back up to the digital just in case. Personally I carry an Olympus XA in an inner pocket, I know its not totally manual but doesn't need its battery for a much as a modern digital.
One of the reasons I went digital was that I couldn't get the Mercury button cells for my Olympus OM1 the wein (sp ?) equivalents were not liked by the light meter and come on how much Mercury was in a button cell compared to fish http://www.food.gov.uk/multimedia/faq/mercuryfish/
only joking cheers Danny
