Hi,

I'm wondering if I need extra protection or other accessories if I'm planning to bring a local DSLR set to winter conditions at 0 Celsius?

Please advise.

Thanks

Rebet XTi aka 450D, not much additional accesories besides Batt grip, i guess u probably need to get a battery grip for ur body in order to make ur battery last longer.... cant recall how many pics i took but with the battery grip, it last me for like 3 months after the next charge during winter, 20-30 shots once a week at least.

looks nice eh? but that comes with price. Those lake were frozen, i remembered it was very cold that time and i forgot to bring my glove when i took those pictures. if i'm not mistaken it was -5c with windchill, my fingers were so cold and pain (fingers are the slimmest part among the whole body and 'no' fat to support), for the first time i felt myself why am i torture myself for taking picture. sweat.gif So remember to wear glove to take pictures during winter.
