Any lubricant can freeze. Often used 35mm is Nikon FM2N from which a repair tech has removed all oil.Will a digital camera work in the top of Everest?

Well, the problem is not the lack of air, but rather freezing temperatures. (I even think NASA has taken pretty "ordinary" models in space. A fixed focus digicam with no moving parts could do the work, if you get the batteries to last in the frost. (Solar powered digicam?)Will a digital camera work in the top of Everest?

If you can make everything works, i.e battery etc. then the picture will look great because the CCD is less noisy at low temperature. I read somewhere that star photographers freezes the CCD so as to take long timed exposure.
This should fix the 990 noise level in long exposure once and for all (990 is more noisy than 950 CCD at low ligh level and long exposure time).

The problem is that the person that is going has the S10.... he asked me if
there was a Flash bracket and a Fisheye lens for the little canon, he was worry also about the poor focusing and the 1/15s flash...blurry pictures you know and
he need it to know how many S10 batteries he will need, do they have AAs in NEPAL?
Please help the guy

AFAIK the S10 can use the 2CR5 Lithium battery; this isWill a digital camera work in the top of Everest?
good down at low temperatures, and is also light in weight.
Take plenty of spares, just put up with the cost!
I can't vouch for the lubricants at low temperatures,
but apart from that I think it would be OK. Low humidity
reduces the risk of condensation, but keep in a sealed case
with a silica gel dessicator to avoid moving parts freezing.
The CCD will certainly benefit from the cold- but with the
ample lighting, noise isn't really a concern here...
Hope this helps,
Chris Eley

I think you are a disturbed person based on your postings, arguments and general behavior. That's not siginificant. The strange thing is that you convinced people to give you 11 answers in 23 hours to a stupid question which you don't mean anyway. You have had similar questions posted in the past. Is this an effort to be different than the rest of the people? Try Psyco.com.Will a digital camera work in the top of Everest?

What he really got is a camera designed to slip into the pocket of

Please help the guy
I was going to suggest a Nikon 950 for the AA battery but even that look very fragile with the fisheye fitted, reminds me of those gold fish, and I bet not the shape you would want in your breast pocket.if he intends to climb Everest with an S10, he is beyond help. We haven't talked about picture storage yet, I've heard that the IBM microdrive is not designed to work at very high altitude.
There is a Fuji weatherproof camera but In don't think it take add-on lenses and they use those silly smartmedia which can only go to 64Mb currently.
So you are right, digital cameras are not yet ready for this kind of environment

What you think is of little interest (surprise!). Please stop these absurd attacks on Frances. Do you have some information or question about photography? You will find that people try to help.

What kind of a stupid question is this wasting our time? He has posted similar questions that offer nothing to anyone, he just wants to be different and impress. How many of you are going to climb mount Everest? So what's the merit of this question? It's worthless and there are people that take the bait and give 15 replies to this ludicrous question.Will a digital camera work in the top of Everest?
I think he expects this reaction including mine, he feels satisfied and he lives for this kind of staff.

Since when I must have been a poster so I can be legitimate. I did not know that you police the site!
And something more. What do you have against Americans and their american money. Did anybody mention anything about your nationality? So be careful and keep your mouth shut.
As for the question I still believe that is a useless one and you only waste our time.
You threw it there just for the fun of it. You had no real intention. Remember the other question about diving from an airplane with a camera on your head? You were just picking on Art I think and nobody understood it. So you got all sorts of answers to a meanigless question. The same applies here. Enough said.
