Can a700 survive snow in korea?

[photobugg]

Shouldn't be a problem. My D300 survived when I was in Beijing snowing. However, what I experienced is that the 3rd party batteries don't work that well under extreme cold weather. My Nikon original battery last me one whole day while my 3rd party died after less than 50 shots. The 3rd party battery return to normal battery life when I am back in Singapore.

Bro...If I may add: The camera is for taking pictures not for display on the pedestal.

Exactly. And DSLR cameras are a lot tougher than most locals seem to think.

I read somewhere to avoid condensation, you can put your lens in ziplock plastic so the condensation will be on a plastic itself rather than your lens, CMIIAW.

that is when there is a sudden change in temperature, like from outside into a warm heated indoor..

Michael Riechmann of Luminous Landscape tested a few cameras in Antartica.

Among them is the A900 with 70-300mm G, 70-200mm G , Sigma 12-24mm and 50-500mm in Sony mount.

All worked well throughout. The Canon 5D Mk II and 1D Mk III failed or had problems.

I once visited a place at the border of North Korea in deep winter. The weather was nice and temperatures stayed at a warm -20 to -25 deg C. Used my non-weather-sealed D90 there throughout my stay, and walking around in down feather winter tracking jackets, with thick gloves and wool ski masks... and my D90 hanging outside my clothing. Worked like a charm. and it is still going strong now.

BTW, how do you think people staying in cold countries take their pictures? All holding super pro weather sealed cameras?

Confirm no problem. My A700 survived a winter trip to Korea's ski resort with zero problems.
