What is the Battery life of a Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS?

Question

I got a Kodak Easyshare Z812 IS and the battery that came with the camera was drained of power within about thirty minutes. Is that normal, or was there a problem with the specific camera? Because if it was just the camera, I will get a new one, but if it is the whole brand, then I won't even bother. I've heard these cameras are good..but how good are they?

Answer 1

Yes, it's normal.

Unfortunately Kodak cams are battery hogs, even when using rechargeable.

The batteries that came with your cam were cheap alkaline, you won't get many pictures out of them.

Your best bet is to spring for KLIC-8000 batteries and charger, you'll get more shots out of it.

Answer 2

The fact that we are living and breathing and able to do all these things. The fact that we are not rocks and some divine coincidence made use who we are instead of some inorganic atom. The fact we can give things worth. We can categorise. Its all beautiful, the sight, the sound, the feel, the emotion, the taste. Even pain. We can feel that not many other things can. Pain may be painful, but we can feel it just as we can feel happy. Its amazing really that out of all of this we can do these things. Although it seems to suck sometimes its still wonderful. random fact: if you shoot a rabbit, it doesnt know why it feels pain, it doesn't register that there is an explanation, it just knows it feels pain and as a reaction will run away, even if its dying. Shoot a human (even if they did not know what a gun was) it would realise its something launched, have some sort or knowledge of what to do and so on. I dont think this was relevant but its written now... But if youre looking for one reason it would definitely be pie.

You should just get a spare battery. The cameras are battery hogs. If you just get a spare battery it's cheaper then buying a new on and you will have extra batteries which is always great. You can get a new battery for under $11.00 from
