I dont have the digital stealth, but do have the film stealth. Mine has performed flawlessly for a year and a half now, but I know others who think they are nothing but junk and problems, and still others who think they are great. In all honesty I think it is the luck of the draw. You may get a good one or may get a bad one, and if you get a good one like I did, well then you got a steal for the money................agree with the cold weather stuff though.

If you want to try one, just buy it from someplace you know you can return it, and hope you get one of the "good" ones.
