Exploding digital camera batteries

slambo writes "32 Bits Online is reporting today about a recall by Kodak on certain model AC adapters. Full details are at Kodak's site . " Don't ya hate it when your camera blows up?

Yikes!

[Ryan Antkowiak]

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

adapter = cause, batteries = problem

[Fastolfe]

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

Meanwhile, in South Park, Colorado.

32 Bits Online? Is this a 32 bit camera? :)

Word of advice

[Deimos_]

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...)

i know what to do with them

Those Leaky Battries

[R1ngL0rd]

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.

My poor camera!!!

[DUDESOME]

I have a digicam. I don't want my camera to blow up!!!

Customs

Imagine taking your camera with you on holiday...

Customs Officer : Nothing to declare, sir ?
You : Nope
Customs Officer : Please walk through this scanner then please, sir.
You : Okay
Customs Officer : LOOK OUT ! HE 'S GOT A KODAK ! TAKE COVER !

Ouch

"...thermal or checmical burns..."

At least now I know what camera not to take nude pictures of my girlfriend with...
