Well said. At least you should try. Take a look at:

Last weekend, there was a balloon festival in Chateau d'Oex (don't even 
ask me how to pronouce this!). I loaded my 4T with Velvia and went there.
In the middle of the roll, the camera stopped. I missed a beat, and 
thought if something was wrong with the camera. But quickly changing the 
batteries did the trick. I think the very low temperature resistance of 
the OM circuitry should be checked. Or is it a fault of SR44 batteries
at low temperatures? It was only -14 Celcius. Well.. a strong wind 
started, a few balloons hit others, and after only one or two launches, 
everything was cancelled. Pity...
