It's super cold where i live and am wondering when coming back inside from shooting is there going to be a problem with internal condensation?????

I was wondering the same thing.... I plan to take some pictures outside this winter. I also was wondering fogging is a problem with the lenses?? I know that a scope is sealed and filled with special gas to keep the internals from fogging!!! Just wondering before I go running around outside in the cold!!

Chaek Page 8 (US English edition)
the eighth bullet point - I noticed that it states "Condensaton may form on the camera and internal parts... " if suddenly brought in from the cold. They suggest putting the camera in a sealed plastic bag before bringing the camera inside and letting it adjust to the warmer temp before taking it out of the bag.

If you have a good padded camera bag or case, just keep it in it's closed case for a while. Otherwise, yes, place it in a sealed ziplock bag before coming inside. Be sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it. It doesn't have to be a vacuum seal, but the bag shouldn't look like a balloon either. Make sure you store your CF cards or microdrives in their plastic storage cases.

Hi,
please see my post a few days earlier re EOS300D returns "error99". In my case I believe it was the extreme humidity in the air, but from cold to warm would probably have the same result.
Anyway the camera has been working fine since after it dried up. Touch wood.....
