Will I regret keeping a good camera in my trunk?

Anyone have any idea if there is a risk of that? I don't think there's a risk of any other heat damage. Running lubes and evaporation to be sure as a risk. Abuse to the batteries, likely. Electronics turned on 'hot' don't cool well - OTOH cameras, other than the sensor, don't heat up much. A hot sensor may show more noise esp. at higher ISO. You could mitigate all that by getting a cheap cooler and keeping everything in there. At least that would slow the warming up. OTOH, if it gets (eventually) hot in the cooler, it will also slow night time cooling. But if you dig it out often enough, then it should be cooler than outright leaving it in the trunk. Can't you bring it during the day? (at work I assume - many work places won't allow it of course - though they're blind to cell phones and their cameras...) |

I haven't tried them because it's a problem that clears itself up within a short time, but is the temperature and humidity differential from an air conditioned automobile and the outside in Sweden the same as it is Florida? Our summers here in Västerås can be pretty hot and humid, yes. This summer has actually been kind of crap with lots of rain, but it's not uncommon for temperatures up to 25-28 degrees during most of the sunny days, even though the average is probably around 20-25. Florida is obviously a lot warmer, but the humidity is really similar. Plus, our winters are a lot colder than yours, and pretty humid as well. So shooting outdoors and indoors in the same day makes for an as large or larger temperature and humidity difference, and the solution applies the same way. I.e. our average humidity during the winter is in the upper 70% or even over 80%, and if the temperature is below freezing and you go in to a house with a temperature of about 20 degrees, stuff fogs up instantly. -- Sandman |
