| I've shot some in cold weather, but Dallas hasn't really been below 25 degrees yet, but the cold does shorten my battery, so much I bought a BG-E1 two battery pack which will be here Wednesday along with a new lens and lens shade. |

i was warned about the cmos sensor when i bought it.
northern vermont can be very cold
2 weeks with below zero's last year
probably wouldnt subject it to that, but input appreciated... |

First camera I had with one was a Canon 35mm P&S that also had a waist level finder. I loved that camera. I loved the remote too.
My G5 came with a remote. I have used it a lot. Comes in handy since I am my only willing model.

Did you get the RC-1 which allows you to have either immediate shutter release or 2 second delay? That's the one I got and I like it that you can have the choice to wait the 2 second or trip the shutter immediately when the remote button is pushed.
The remotes are great! I had one for my G2 and got lots of use out of it.

Yes, the one I have has a 2 second delay, which I used tonight for some self Christmas photos for our cards. I love it!! Can't wait for some long exposier shots.
tfaust, yes, its a small, half inch wide and maybe two inches long romote that uses the ifrared sensor on the camera. I paid 26 bucks at Wolf here in Dallas for it. Wonderful toy!!!

Thanks Bill for posting those links!!
I've never used a remote, and I see that the description says it works with bulb shots, so would I press the shutter release on the remote and hold it down for as long as I wanted the shutter open for?

If you are using the wired remote that is correct.
If you are using the wireless remotes the exposure will start when you push the remote button the first time and the exposure would stop when you push the remote button the second time.
Hope that information helps!
