Also, some years ago, I used my Canon camera (EOS1000 and EOS300 but film) at 19500 feet and -25 degrees Celsius with all the aspects of keeping it warm that you discuss and it stopped working for around an hour on the key trekking day (but suddenly sprung to life - maybe it got a little warmer though it was still ridiculously cold) over the main pass (Teschi Lapcha) but was excellent the rest of the time. I carried spare batteries but the batteries lasted better than I imagined (I walked with them in my pockets). I didn't lose too many shooting opportunitites though it was worrying at the time.

FWIW, I didn’t have any issues at 16-17 thousand feet in Bolivia but the temperatures weren’t that severe. I only encountered below freezing during and right after sunsets while that high…
