Yes
Does anyone know how cold it can go to and for the 400D to still be happy to work?

Cheers.
 
that info should be in the specifications section of your manual i would guess.
My nikon D70 manual says 0 degrees C - 40 degrees C (32-104 F) and less than 85% humidity.
Its the bateries you have to worry about, batteries dont like cold!
Si.
 
i read an article where a 5d was used in the artic - frozen on the outside, still operating on the inside. Of course, its got a slightly better build quality but no environmental sealing so should take some frosting.

The key is to regulate temperature changes - if you're going to use in cold temps (below room temperature) make sure it adjusts slowly to outside temperature. Leave it out overnight or seal it in a plastic bag before you leave the house and let it cool down before using it.

How cold were you hoping to go to???
 
Put it in an airtight bag and the bag in the freezer overnight. Thats about -20
Then see :shrug:

I don't know, but I may well be using it for Elevated Photography (so 60' up) in Scotland, in mid winter, in the middle of the night.

I'm not going to guarantee it, but you should be fine in the UK. As i said, its condensation & moisture thats your enemy :thumbs:
 
Without being too indelicate here's a piece of advice.

Charge up your batteries - and keep them down your trousers if you're going out is sub zero temperatures - otherwise they could lose their charge before you're even ready to use them.

Don't Ask and I won't Tell!! ;)
 
I read about a wildlife photog shooting in Alaska who use to stick his batteries where the sun dont shine!!!
A strange sensation to be had there i bet!!

Si.
