I've never had exactly that experience with a camera, but I've had massive discharges from batteries when a dead short developed in a circuit. I'd be wary of any device that did that once. Those types of problems seldom fix themselves.

Michael's K-r has been lying switched off on the table this afternoon and when he lifted it after a while the whole camera body was really hot and the battery was almost discharged.

I admit I'm nore than a little alarmed and I'd rather not want to know what would have happened if this had occured while the camera was in its bag.

Now, with a new battery it's working OK again and the other battery appears to be charging normally.

Has anyone had a similar experience with this camera?
