I know it's not good for film type cameras but what about my digital?
I realize it must be out of site to deter theft. I'm planing to use the trunk. You should be OK as long as you don't live someplace that is extraordinarly hot, such as a desert climate. There's no film to ruin in digital camera, so you're good on that. Press photographers keep lots of gear in automobile trunks without a problem from heat, although numerous cycles of heating and cooling can shorten the life of your battery, but it's not enough to get worked up about.
Check your camera's manual to find the range of temperature it will tolerate. It might be worth it to buy a cheap thermometer and stick it in your trunk while the car is parked in the sun. See how hot it gets in the trunk. If it's way above your camera's maximum operating temp, you might want to think twice. it all depends on how much you value your camera. if you dont then sure why not How much do you value your electronic equipment? Read the owners manual. Some say do not leave it exposed to 140 degrees F or extreme temperature changes. I could see your car getting that hot easily. Treat it just like a film camera. How do you treat your car? Is it full of dust? Dust is bad for your camera too especially digital. Treat something you really want to keep like its the last one you will ever own. Take your camera with you and use it otherwise why do you even own one? If you have to leave it in your car keep it in a plastic bag but not in the trunk because it is too easy to forget it. Try under the seat. |
