Those Leaky Battries (Score 1)

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.
