Q. hi I'm trekking to everest base camp, where temperatures can get well below freezing and wanted to know how my digital camera will function. i understand you can get freeze proof, underwater type cameras, but would a regular digital still function, does it just mean short battery life or would it not turn on at all.
Same question for my iPhone (not for calls, purely for the camera capability)

A. Some things I did in the course of taking this picture:

I kept handwarmer packs in my padded case to keep the camera warm in transport.
I had a clean cotton handkerchief in there to wipe off condensation.
I used two layers of glove liners with handwarmer packs to have enough dexterity to operate the camera without getting my fingers frostbitten. I kept my hands in my pockets a lot.
I used a tripod with a quick release plate. I mostly walked around with my open tripod tucked under my arm. I thought out the shot a lot before deploying the camera to minimize exposure.
I carried a spare battery in my pocket.
I brought a lot of handwarmer packs. I could have bought more at the supermarket if needed.
I don't know if it will come up on your Everest trip, but for pictures like this I had a toothbrush in my camera bag.

A toothbrush? It is to clean the snow off of the raised metal letters on the plaque to make them readable.

A. LOL. This is purely subjective and eveyone's going to have their own personal opinions on it.
Here's MY thoughts on what is the best for 2013. This only applies to ME and what I like about the devices.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317M)
- 5.5" screen (no need to squint)
- perfect size for portability and mobility (yeah, I can fit this in my front pant pocket without issue and it's in an Otterbox Commuter case too)
- touch and digital S Pen inputs
- excellent for note taking and drawing (no fatigue; accurate and precise pen input)
- exactly duplicates pen on paper with real palm rejection allowing a more natural and ergonomic feel
- split screen multi-window view (ie. can view email, browse web and take notes at the same time)
- attach my 1TB drive via USB OTG cable (but requires external power source to power the HDD)
- attach USB hub and hook up to external display via smart dock (at the same time); can turn it into a multimedia hub or micro computer
Tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro
- runs full Windows 8 Pro 64-bit OS without any 3rd party bloat (can even install Linux)
- full HD resolution with touch and digital pen inputs
- can reuse standard computer peripherals without the need for an adapter
- USB to gigabit ethernet support (avoiding common hassles with Wi-Fi and its inherent weaknesses)
- USB3.0
- run full Windows Programs, none of the trimmed down mobile stuff
- actual ultrabook/notebook hardware in tablet form
The only issue is that the camera is rather poor in the Surface Pro, but who cares. I won't use it anyways. The Note 2 can handle that or my dedicated digital camera.
This is the tablet I am currently eyeing to upgrade from my Note 10.1.
