A coat is not only warm, it is also moist. When the camera is then taken out into the cold, the moisture condenses, not just on lenses, but also electronic circuitry, lens cams, etc. And if that moisture then freezes you can have other problems. Cameras are better off in the dry cold. Keep a change of batteries in your pocket and switch them for batteries that weaken in the cold.
