Re: EASY SHARE ??? HAH !



Greetings,

Sorry to hear of your situation.

Actually, the configuration of the batteries for the EasyShare camera
and charger are to make things 'easier' for you. The batteries are made
that way so when inserted into camera and the camera placed on the
camera dock or printer dock, the batteries will charge and the camera
be ready for use within a relatively short time.

In your scenario, you apparently have a wall charger rather than a
dock, which is great for travel or charging almost anywhere.
Since you have chosen not to use a dock, the battery configuration is
less important unless you choose a Printer Dock in the future. You may
use rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and a related charger. Those
batteries will work just as well (but will not recharge on a dock) to
power your camera.

Regardless of type, however, using rechargeables is the right way to go
to save yourself time and money. Worth the investment.

Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird
