Hirose RP-34 series? The three-pin version is commonly used as a power
supply connector on older Dell laptops, and is approximately D-shaped.
There is a four-pin version - never seen one in person, but Digi-Key
carries them. Take a look at page 6 of the PDF available at
http://rocky.digikey.com/scripts/ProductInfo.dll?Site=US&V=26&M=RP34-8SP-4SC .

Clint Sharp suggested it might be an auto-iris connector; Mouser sells
a Kobiconn auto-iris connector as catalog number 163-196J. Drawing in
the PDF linked from

Alternatively, you could cut the PSU output cable in half and install a
connector that mortals can purchase on both ends. Then, you can swap
the end that fits the camera between the AC PSU and your battery.
