Looking for CF Card that can work in low temp.

[longman]

Hi, I'm looking for CF card tat can work in low temp from 0-10 celcius, any recommand?

hmm .. even if you can find CF can work in low temp, the battery life of your digicamera will definately be very short.

that is the limitation of digicam at the moment i guess.. can't shot in cold temperature for too long.

I think all CF cards hv no problem working in temperature down to even -20 degrees. They're solid state electronics after all.

not really true.

According to Transcend's website their CFs are rated at 0-70 degrees only.

Op. Temperature 0°C(32°F) to 70°C(158°F)

If you need to work it in -20, then get their Industrial grade ones.

p. Temperature -20˚C(-4˚F) to 70˚C(158˚F)

Actually any CF(recent,within the past one year) in the market can do the job.

I have shot at -4C before with Ridata n Sandiskn transcend. Consumer class is enough, no need to go for industrial ones.

You just need to do the same for it as the battery, hold hem in your fist n clench for a good 2 minutes for it to get slightly warmed and then pop them into the cam and shoot away. At -4c, my fingers were first to go before my CF or Battery died on me. If its your first experience in such temperatures, bring along a pair of light - medium wool gloves.

Best of luck ...

Sandisk has come out with CF that can withstand extreme temperatures, called the Sandisk Extreme, there's some reviews at dpreview.
