I looked for them, but they're impossible to find here in Harbin. For what
it's worth, last night I shot the Ice Festival (billed as the largest in the
world and very impressive). It was COLD! The camera did well -- my battery
lasted the two hours I was out shooting. The dim LCD wasn't an issue at
night. One odd thing, though -- evidently, the "liquid" part of the LCDs
started to gel, because I was getting wierd strobe-like effects in the
viewfinder, though the problem went away as soon as I brought the camera
inside and let the temperature stabilize. The video turned out fine,
however. I'm looking forward to months of editing. ;)
