Hi Aftab, right now I've been in Iceland one week, and I've enjoyed very much the R. The temperatura was from -3 to +4 degrees.

But in two occasions the R take the error 70. Theorically this error is for the malfunctioning with the images... So, i suppose is for the sd card ??... Maybe condensation ?? ... I don´t know.

Take out battery and re-insert, solvent the problem, although still I don´t know the reason.

No more problems

Is interesting that my partner has the 70D and zero problems, and when I touched his camera (70D), is was not half cold comparing with mine that was very very cold, probably for the magnesium alloy body, who knows...

Things happen...

Regards

Yes, things happen. It would be good to know why it happened though.

EOS R is designed to dissipate heat better through the camera body. This probably makes it vulnerable to become colder than a body not designed similarly.
