Hi I wasn't primarily thinking about the climate but the fact that I may not have a power outlet near for a week. Another issue is that only one shop in town stock the batteries for the MZ-S. They cost $30. He may be out of them and after closing time they are impossible to get. The batteries of the MZ-S last about 30 rolls at the most. Hence, batteries are a constant hassle to me.
