When I buy a new camera body, the previous one ends up in a closet. It
crossed my mind to put a walkaround lens on an earlier body, and throw
it in the trunk of my car, so I always have a decent camera with me -
one that is good in low light. But it gets hot around here, and the
car could end up sitting in the sun in 110 degree heat. Does anyone
know if this can cause a problem? I'm mainly talking about the
possible volatilization of materials inside the camera or lens that
could end up leaving a film on the sensor, or on the inside of the
lens. Anyone have any idea if there is a risk of that?

I don't think there's a risk of any other heat damage.



Reminds me, I keep meaning to put a memory card in my old Digital IXUS
and keep in the car though it is rare for me not be carrying a camera.
I keep old GPS in the car also so in the event of an incident in a
remote area I could quickly get the NGR of the location.
