as far as using a canon in the cold and rain not a problem, i have a spring turkey at 7 yards in the rain on film if u would like to know how they work with humidity. and it also has the controls on the top of the camera, and loads from the top! and what pixels does that SONY have because that is where the good quality film comes from? as u can see i am not a SONY guy! they over price everything they make! just my thoughts!
