That's annoying.I've just killed an old digitalcamera by spilling coffee over a dressing table in the bedroom, it then flowed into the drawer containing the camera.It's all sticky to the touch and the power button doesn't respond - I've checked the batteries and they're fine.
The camera is a 2003 Olympus C-750 UZ 4.0MP camera with 4X digital zoom and 10X optical zoom. When last used about 6 months ago it took great photos.
