PCWorld have published a brief but still fairly useful guide to using your digital camera in cold conditions. Unfortunately they fail to mention anything about keeping the actual photographer warm, a working camera is not much use without a warm and functional photographer!

“When you bring the camera back indoors, odds are good that you’ll get some condensation on the lens. Be patient. It’s a bad idea to wipe the lens off to take more pictures: You can scratch the lens in the process. Also, if you wipe the lens and the condensation pools up around the edges, it can leak into the inside of the lens assembly. That’s a really bad thing. So let the condensation evaporate on its own; it shouldn’t take long.”
