Here Here!!  I decided to change the button battery in my Cannon
(after ~8 years...) before a trip to Hawaii.  Boy was I glad.  The
initial panic at seeing a battery starting to corrode was
not fun.  I was quite happy to discover that Cannon had plasic lined
the battery compartment!  I now go for two years on the button. :-)
