Originally posted by MJKoski How is your K-1 working in the cold? Yesterday the IBIS unit failed completely after being exposed to ~ -28C for 4 hours or so. PS would not start exposure, sensor shift did not respond to controls and shake reduction did nothing. It started to work again today after warming up in the bag overnight. It did this with full battery as well.
I would like to know if your unit works properly.
Infos like these are always good to know.
I say keep reporting these failures !
They are interesting reading :^)

At those brittle temps, the only reasonable backup would be a cell phone :^|

I wish for summer so we can see how the camera performs after four hours spent dragged by a mule through desert terrain. Perhaps some southern hemisphere folks could test their cameras in awful summer conditions? I think the acid test is changing lenses in a midge storm so we can see if any inadvertently ingested midges gum up the IBIS. Any Scots interested in doing the midge test ?
