For cold temperature and long duration I would use lithium disposables. Something like this.

They're rated from -40°C to 60°C and they will outlast any alkaline, NiCD or NiMH AA batteries out there. They're pricey but they sure last. I use them in my GPS, my SPOT and 2 of my cameras that I don't get to very often. Damn, deer meat is expensive

Working in the cold has more to do with the batteries than the camera. Lithium are what you need after about -10, not cheap but they do last a long time. I modded my cams so I can use the rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries I use on my RC planes, it works great. I have Bushnell and Tasco cams, 5 in all.

yes, I had one with out and someone stole my SD card, if they want to steal your cam they will cut the cable lock
I have had the medium bushnal, cheap crappy tire ones and my last one has been a Moultrie that my wife bought me as a gift. By far the Moultrie has been the best. I am on my third season with the original batteries I installed. I also have left the camera on a tree through last winter in Alberta and I am showing 40percent battery life after more then 1000 pictures.
I do not know if a got the good one out of the batch, but would definitely buy another Moultrie.
