Tony,
Are you a member of NPS? E-mail me privately and I will see if I can get you some help on your camera.

I like my 300 but it like the d200 dont like the cold. both shut down in sub zero temps. fought it all weekend. I shoot wildlife mainly, and cant have this keep happening. with gas $$$ and my time, i'm wasting way too much time with dead equipment when it gets cold. . .
Lost the focus on the 70-200 vr afs and the camera would not even stay on after about 20 minutes in -10 degrees.
Tony,
Wow, what a shame. I had an old Minolta body that be good for about 1 shot in freezing temps before it shut down, very frustrating. I've been lucky with my Canon 30D. I spent time last winter shooting it at below -20 for several hours with no problem. At least, no problem if I watch where my breath goes LOL!! Froze over the viewfinder once with my stupidity. Your post now has me wondering if my 5D will hold up in the cold this winter. Hope you find some resolution to your problem.

Moose just got done using the D3 in Montana and Maine and didn't have any issues. David Cardinal is in Cambodia using the D3 and the D300 with no issues so far.
