Another option!

A small leather case is available for most of these pocket size cameras which you can fasten to your belt. They are about the size of a cell phone and easy to extract from the case. I don't carry mine all the time but I wear it if I think there is a chance of getting a picture.

I wouldn't recommend leaving a digital camera in your car

I used to leave my digital camera (Sony Cybershot) in my car all the time, but one day the heat stuffed up the CCD in the camera. I was able to get it repaired under warranty, but I was without a camera for 8 weeks, and the camera has never been 100% perfect since. I looked on the internet, and the problem was reported in most major brands of digital camera.

What about the LCD?

What does LCD mean?

Can it freeze?

CCD, Not LCD

The CCD (can't remember what it stands for) is the bit inside the camera where the pictures are formed. I imagine it is a bit like the film in a traditional camera. My camera's symptoms were colours being wrong. It started as whites showing as pale purple and got steadily worse over a couple of months until the pictures were unrecognisable.

No you should not leave your camera in the car If it gets to hot in the car it will melt the lens But if you have to leave yourcamera in the car be sure to leave it under the front seat this is the best location to protect your camera Rick Collin Burlington Ontario

My guess is that a Nikon D80 is probably using a glass lense

Cars don't get hot enough to melt glass although it seems like that at times.

No not the CCD the LCD

I thought LCD (the display) ment LIQUID crystal display. SO my question was cant liquid freeze? or is it a type of liquid that will not freeze if left in freezing temps?

Rick09 was not responding to your question, and I responded

to Rick09.

Here is an article that describes liquid crystal.
