How is camera in snow and mountains

I have not used it yet in the snow nor the mountains so am not sure at this time.

I bought it for my husband who is a Pile Driver in Alaska. He loves it. He said you still need to keep it in your pocket or close to your body for warmth but you will be able to take pictures for about 10-15 minutes before it freezes up, then just put it under your arm to warm it up. A normal camera will not last a minute in the Arctic. If this camera can pass the Foul Wet Weather Arctic Pile Driver test I am sure it will work fine in the snow and mountains.

Have not driven under those conditions but overall the camera has excellent low light capability. At night the camera view is always much brighter than the actual light level. I am very happy with the low light recordings.

Yup I believe so. We have 3 cameras outside and we live in new York... This winter has been extreme and so far all 3 have withstanded the elements.

Back in "the old days" I built my own trail camera with Olympus D380 cameras. These things were battery hogs. The little Browning took me through the entire winter and spring without changing batteries. I'm sure it took a thousand shots or more. I also bought a BTC 3 which is even smaller and there is no flash. The photo's are sharp on both. I will buy another one. Great little trail camera.

I have had it for a bit more than a year now. The camera works great still. However, it wasnt all that great in the winter in Northern NY. This is mostly due to the construction of the rear of my car. There is a nice shelf below the licence plate for the snow to pile up on. Anytime more than 6" fell, the camera would become immersed in snow. After removing the snow, the camera didnt have a good picture for 30 mins or so. The finish hasnt seemed to fade anywhere except where I snugged up on the bolts. If you never move the bolts, you wouldnt notice it.

I am not an expert at this. I put out one camera at 150 feet and it seems fine. What I have noticed is that in cold weather (zero outside) my images don't seem as clean.

I just took my SX 50 to the top of Mount Evans and was able to get dramatic close-up pictures of a herd of mountain goats. I also got a phenomenal shot of a mother mountain goat and her kid on a steep outcropping of rocks. The picture is so clear that you can see the eyelashes on the goats! I've owned many, many cameras and have never loved a camera as much as I love this one.

The outside of this camera is metal. I have used this camera inside and outside in the southwest, where it rarely gets below freezing. It actually work better outdoors. Indoors the white level sometimes get somewhat intense in different lighting, even though the picture is good. The adjustments a relatively easy to use.

maybe at 30-40 feet, on a clear day :-) I am very happy with the camera though. For what I use it for, it is perfect.

It is a good camera and takes good quality pictures inside and outdoors.But it is not the same quality as a SLR. The resolution is not as fine. This is an outdoor drop in the water and still work camera.I like mine and bought it for my fishing and canoeing adventures.Erich

I've found over the years that the Foscam black model fades and gets pretty ugly. The white model is made of a different plastic and shows little if any deterioration. That being said the cameras must be sheltered from rain-driving rain and snow. Oh and they seem to work just fine at -35 degrees.

It works excellent on all conditions; by far this camera exceeded my expectations. Just make sure to set the settings for the type of pic you want to take.

The outdoor colors are very good. I have it outside our front door, and have some software snap three shots while panning when motion is detected. Like the other comments here, I'm very pleased with this camera.

This is a very capable camera that has fair waterproofing. I don't know how it would take extreme cold. Be sure and choose a lense that is also weather proofed. Picture quality of this camera is very good.

Absolutely!! Thats exactly what its mainly used for.. I would buy a waterproof case for it so the snow wont damage it although its partially waterproof.. these cameras are very durable without lacking any quality.

Depends on what you mean by cold. We have had some 15-20 degree lows here where I hunt this season. It didn't seem to affect it's performance. If you run alkaline batteries like I am, you will experience a significantly reduced battery life below freezing. However, that's par for the course with all cams.
