RoadRunner Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 im on the market for a good camera my easy share died the outher day im looking at a canon power shot sx 110 1s i just nead one to hold up in the cold weather whats everyone on here using thanks coldsmoke Cold smoke , I have real good luck with the Sony Steady Shot, It is compact, nice battery that works well in super cold temps, and takes good pics. Just make sure what ever you get that it will operate in the cold temps, I know your riding locations well Are you still heading north on friday, pm me with on the details when you have a chance Best regards RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcat Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I use a Kodak, but have a heated handlebar bag on my XP, it does not like the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallis Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I have a canon Powershot A540. It is an inexpensive camera that works well in the cold. I usually get a week out of the batteries between charges. There are many options out there, just make sure whatever one you choose takes nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries and you will be fine. Lithium ion's are not worth a shit in the cold. Happy Holidays! Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Canon A590 IS would be a excellent camera, it is on sale now for $160can @ the Future Shop. This is a very good camera and the Image Stabilization is a great feature. I have one the same style but two years older. It takes great pictures and fits in the inside pocket of my jacket. I purchased a set of rechargable NI-MH batteries and throw the charger in my saddle bags. On one trip two years ago we were out for 9 days at -25 or colder every day and would charge up the batteries every three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longriderss Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I currently use one of the Kodak easy share camera's. It's 12 mp, it taked regular AA batteries and has a 5x optical zoom. Works great with the Duracel or Kodak rechargable batteries. Takes great pictures, fits in my inside pocket when riding. I have also used it to take movies with sound when riding. I also bring my recharger along with me and an extra set of batteries. I always get at least a couple days on a charge. Another added plus is the standard SD card that it uses and I have been using a 2 gig card. I havent run out of space for photo's yet. Can be purchased at Walmart for $160.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my understanding that Lithium works best at low temps. Scroll to page 3 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to check the conditions in Cote Nord, I know earlier postings talked of a lot of rain damage to the trail network this fall. Particularly if you end up going to godbout in lieu of Baie Comeau and try heading west towards Escoumin, sounded like several bridges were out between godbout and baie comeau Happy Holidays RR We will be waiting for those pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get 2-3 days from my GPS with LI batteries vs less than a day with regular batteries and my camera which takes AA goes a season with a set.
