Question Cold (very) weather photography

I suddenly find that I am off to Mongolia for three days. Projected conditions are minus 22 during the day falling to minus 32 overnight. I guess those of you in Europe are getting used to those conditions. I’ve never encountered anything like them; we consider ten degrees to be freezing.

My first question, should I even consider taking an expensive camera with me, or should I just take a point and shoot?

What sort of things should I be concerned about? I know that battery life will be short and to keep camera and lenses in sealed plastic bags until they adjust to temperature changes, but what else should I be worrying about?
