I wish, my fingers get pretty numb quickly as both the camera body and lens 
are metal and drop to air temp very quickly, and just suck the heat out of 
your fingers.  I do use hand warmers,and also double up with thin gloves for 
feel, and covered by mittens with a finger flap, which helps quite a bit.  
Unfortunately the other day I did not have the mittens on and the wind just 
dropped the temp down quickly.

Cheers,
Gene

Is there any camera out there with a heating device on the controls  
and trigger?
Just wondering as I remember my numb finger not being able to feel  
where that b... trigger was when on top of the Empire state last Feb -  
Nikon is bad in that respect
