Many Pentax DSLRs are rated for operation down to -10 °C (14 °F). This is a selling point of these cameras, and they are specifically tested to operate reliably at this temperature (with a note on reduced battery life, recommending that the operator have extra batteries in an inside pocket).
I can't find any camera from Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Olympus rated to below 0 °C (to my surprise, neither the Canon EOS-1D X nor the Nikon D4 are rated to below 0 °C). Are there any other interchangeable-lens cameras designed to operate at below-freezing temperatures?
Answer
Phase One IQ series digital backs for medium format cameras are rated from -10°C to 50°C (but not the older P+ series). These could be used with, for example, Phase One 645DF body.
The manual of Nikon F6 does not list the range of operating temperatures, but does list how many rolls of 36-exposure films you can expect to shoot at -10°C with fresh batteries, so it's supposedly a supported temperature.
