Digital Camera Memory

Memory and Cold Weather

SUMMARY: Most digital camera memory should work well in cold temperatures.

When taking photos in extremely cold weather conditions, you should not have to worry about your digital camera memory. Although not a guarantee, at least according to my research, most digital camera memory types, such as CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SD, and xD, should handle frigid temperatures with ease. It's everything else you'll have to worry about (the digital camera circuitry itself, your batteries running out quicker, keeping yourself from freezing, etc).

Note that this may not apply to MicroDrives. Since MicroDrives are actually miniature hard drives, they contain mechanical parts that may be susceptible to extreme temperatures.
