I live on the Olympic peninsula and my cameras are out year round. I have both the older and a newer A5 cameras plus a few of the new A7 cameras. I also have a spypoint that does ok. The moultries will fog every once in a while and I have got water in the battery compartment of the older A5s but they always work. Plus they're an inexpensive camera so if they get stolen I'm not out much. I got my first cabelas at christmas and had to send that one back. The replacement worked great. I put my second one out about a month ago and one is still in the box.
