Don't buy new, replace the cells!
2007-12-15Our old DX6440's battery pack wouldn't take a charge, so I took the pack apart, replaced the cells with Duracell 2650mah cells by hot-glueing them onto the center plastic piece. Bingo, a much better battery pack.
Then, just to see, I did a quick charge of the old cells just to get some voltage in them and stuck them in my Lacrosse charger for a refresh. The last cycle they showed ~1860-1870mah, much better.
The only thing to really watch is to make sure you glue the pack back together with the batteries positioned properly so the plastic tab hits the switch inside the battery compartment to identify it's a rechargeable pack, then the docks will recharge them.
SHORT SHORT TERM USE ONLY
2006-11-28This battery is got to cause more frustration than anything. IMPORTANT to find a battery that will be good for the day not just for less than 40 pictures, thats if your taking them in a row. Shop around for something better if you want to live a little longer.
Get the KAA2HR
2006-10-19I originally posted a positive review of this product, but as I am now purchasing another one, I have looked at the one that I have had success with, and it is actually the 1850mAh KAA2HR, which is a little more expensive, but well worth it. I have had no experience with this less powerful/cheaper battery pack. I would recommend that you pay a little more for a better battery. - Pantucci
Love Camera - hate batteries
2006-09-17I have 3 of these battery packs and none of them hold a charge for more than 1 hr. each. I have the dock for my camera and the wall recharge unit and it still doesn't help. I really wish you would have a battery that will last longer. I've only had my camera(DX6340) for two years and I've bought 3 batteries so I could have backups and they don't do any good. Very disappointed but still love my digital camera. It is so wonderful to work with when the batteries work. I have a lot of fun with it. 7 grandchildren------I guess you've got the picture.
Multiple Types of KAA2HR
2005-06-12I am disappointed in kodak for making multiple versions of the KAA2HR. They really need to create new part numbers or a "dash number" for various mAh ratings. Each battery is a different size and won't fit into all chargers. I first purchased the Radio Shack copies and found they wouldn't fit in my charger. Now I find Kodak makes batteries that don't fit in the Kodak charger either.
All I can say is Kodak is a mess with their batteries, chargers and part numbers. The Kodak brandname now has negative value to me. Stay away and buy good generic AAs.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
