The temperature doesn't seem to affect it, except for battery life. I
bought three sets of ni-cads and a charger. Instead of loading film, you
load batteries with digital cameras.
I've jumped on a snow tube with my kids and taken shots as we went down
hill. Pictures looked good!
I used a 35mm camera during the tear down of my Tiger. I'd put a
handwritten note card in the shot (the who,what where of the part) ,
take a picture, then put the picture and note card in a zip lock bag
along with the part when it was stored. You'd be amazed at what the
manual doesn't show and how much you'll forget after a few years.
Pictures were invaluable in rewiring the dashboard. The windows,
brakeline locations, etc. went back in much easier with pictures. The
nice thing about a digital camera is you get to see the picture now. You
can reshoot instantly, and add any notes as text right on your computer.
