    ... and to think that breaking cameras because of awful looks has been a *joke* all of these years--it actually happens!

    The adapter's what causes the problem, but the problem is that the batteries can explode.

    If someone is capable of cracking a mirror with their visage (i unfortunatley know a few people who can), then I would not be one to take their picture with this camera =) (Mebe we can trick Bill gates into taking a picture of monica's ass with one, that would get rid of two problems...)

    This has actually happened to my Mustek DigiCam. I left it pluged-in with Duracell Ultra's inside for about two weeks, the batteries exploded and ate though my desk. Luckily, I had all my 300 pics from my around the world vacation on the inserted Compact Flash which I was able to save.

    Just a warning, other DigiCam manufactures may use the same AC manufacturer.
