Consumer electronics aren't meant to withstand extreme temps, my BB got hella slow when I was outside in -25 weather though it was in my pocket. My cam on the other hand performed as usual - my cam is not a consumer model.
Best thing to do in a scenario like that is NOT to turn on your camera but to put it in a large ziploc bag while you are in your car outside, seal it.
Then bring the thing inside, set the bag down by the door or some cool place in the house where it can gradually come up in temperature.
After an hour or so open the bag and THEN turn on your camera.
Turning it on after such freezing or with condensation in/on it risks really screwing it up.
Yup, water doesn't do anything at all really, it's turning it on while it's wet/moist/condensation etc.
I've dropped my iphone in my pool, I left it for about 3 weeks on the window sill - works perfect to this day.
