Hi Jack.
Can’t help with the card thing, except to say I have reservations about accepting “at least an hour at a time so it (camera) reached ambient”.
I was out all day with my 1DsIII in falling snow during the Goodwood Revival, actual temp -1 to -2c, wind chill (real feel) temp somewhat lower, magnesium body felt like -20
even after buying sheepskin gloves! :
;D
From the exif, camera temp at the end of the day, 3c, temp during the coldest time when I was just waiting and found a snow drift in the hood the next time I lifted the camera, 1c and during that time the camera was hanging on the strap untouched so no insulation from gloved hands.
I had a look at one of your shots of mother and daughter (deer) using Jeffrey’s exif viewer and there are lots of fields that say things like “Canon File Info 0x0011 -1” the next value is 88! None say camera temperature but I’ll bet it is one of the canon file values.
I know -1c is no where near as cold as -10c but I was out all day! As a matter of interest for you, you could check the temperature in your exif and find out if the camera ever reached ambient, perhaps tell us what temperature was reached.
Cheers, Graham.

Well if the 1DX2 can only operate to 0 C then I'd be out of luck virtually all winter. I've shot -10C routinely with the 6D and 1DX2 and been out in it for at least an hour at a time so it reached ambient. I bet Canon just doesn't want to be held responsible and plays conservative.
