I really need some help!

The camera i've got at the moment is a nikon (coolpix) 775. We're considering getting a new one though. With regards to keeping the battery warm, do you think wrapping it in thermal, or fleece clothing would be sufficient? also, is there any chance that the cold will make the camera so damaged that it wont work again? thanks

Another tip with the batteries is to have two sets. That way when the set in the camera start bugging out, take the set out from your pocket (near your body) and switch them in. Put the cold ones in your pocket and then you can keep switching when it's necessary. The body heat will warm the batteries up, so I don't think you need to wrap them in fleece. I don't know if the cold will permanently damage the camera though.

ps I live in cold Edmonton too, but it's pretty warm this year. I still haven't taken my winter jacket out yet!
