Does anyone see a problem using the right voltage/amperage Radio Shack ac adapter with an Olympus Camera? Thanks, KC

Don't forget polarity. Unless you're really into the smell of burning plastic and billowing smoke.

It's a good idea to be cautious here. Radio Shack sells universal ac adapters designed for no specific purpose. These little unregulated noise generators will work very hard to pump undulating DC into your camera at an RMS voltage within tolerances specified by some guy in marketing with a communications degree.
The Radio Shack adapters also have neat little ways you can reverse the polarity (another wonderful aspect of the universal approach)- which is tantamount to handing you rope, knot-tying instructions, a stool and a branch....
