Looks to be a worthwhile project Billy. If you're confident go for it. Takes the camera to a new level for sure.

I think building the case with heat sink and fan is Ok for me, but doing the rest as in stripping camera down and renewing sensor etc is way beyond me.

But knowing you Billy you will go for it and make it work.

Good luck all my digits are crossed :laughing2:

Well its non destructive and looks quite simple todo so go for it. If it works no doubt you will have a following on here myself included

I dunno where Im going to find all the time for my projects list.

Just been checking people have been using the 350D down to 0F (about -18C) with exterenal power apparently gives up after a few shots at -50C but recovers when it thaws out...

I'm already using Industrial spec CF which has extended operating temp range...

Looks like I am going to be scrounging from my mate again... hmm laser cut ally box....better get going on the cad....

Might give this a go... think i might add some dessicant to the case as well ...

I think I am going to end up with a 1000D as well as I think some targets look better with an unmodded cam and it would be nice to get back to a double dslr imaging setup with a seperate guide scope...

Looks like this is could be the crimbo project this year...

Looks great, go for it! Would love to see the results

I wish I could find the link, but there is a company who retrofit peltier coolers directly onto DSLR's, But I believe they fit a cold finger running to the sensor as well.

*edit* found the link..http://www.centralds.net/en/

Thanks for the link Ian

Very slow downloads form the site but the prices are a little bit out of my leauge

Billy....

[Sam]

Wow Billy, looks like you're going to take the DSLR up a level!

[Psychobilly]

think it will be the tec cooled box solution rather tahn the cold finger approach .. thoseother ones certainly look "cool" though ... but credit crunch and all that

[iancandler]

They are a tad on the expensive side.. but a nice solution.

Hi Billy' the set up looks good but will it be to heavy.Taff

Looks the business. A portable 12V lightweight overspec'd camera fridge.

Just what every imager wants! I would love to just mod my 400D but I dont have the guts to do it myself or the inclination to pay anyone else to do it.

Looks like a cracking idea Billy. I'd forget the dessicant as all the moisture will be condensed out on the cooler, not the camera. As the cooler is the coldest bit, that's where the wet will happen. It might be worth fitting a drain plus have the cooler at the bottom where the drips won't land on the camera.

Looks a "cool" idea though!
