Originally posted by Sagitta I do it ALL the time. I generally unload my pics at the end of the day when I'm prepping for bed/watching TV/etc then forget to power the camera down.
EDIT: I have the AA adapter, I can't recommend it enough. I haven't been forced to buy AA's when out and about yet, but I've come close and having that option open to me is amazingly nice to have.
I use the AA adapter and lithium AA's as my regular power source and have a spare package of batteries available. I keep the OEM battery as backup. I find I get more mileage out of the AA batteries. As stated the AA adapter is a must have accessory.
