PHOTO TIP: Extreme temperatures, hot or cold, can be detrimental to your camera's operation. The stifling heat of summer can play havoc with your camera's electronics, and battery life, as can the arctic cold, especially if you travel with your camera in the car a lot of the time.

For the price of a cheap, supermarket freezer bag (maybe $5?), you can greatly improve your camera's well being. Keep one of these handy-dandy, super portable bags in your car or trunk and then store your whole camera bag inside the thermos-like apparatus and you will always have a room-temperature camera ready to go!

Plus, it's a bag that doesn't yell, "There's an expensive camera in here, steal me!"
