I swear my camera is totally insane! Yes I'm talking about the Kodak v803 I bought in late 2007 that's been giving me problems pretty much since the day I've bought it. Don't get me wrong it gets the job done for a point and shoot, and for a Kodak I was quite impressed. I actually gave the camera 4 1/2 stars when I wrote a review.
My main issue has always been with the battery and the fact that the battery life absolutely sucks on that camera. After I purchased it I vowed to never buy another camera that uses a rechargeable battery. I want to be able to use my own AA or AAA rechargeables so I can carry extras with me or pick up a pack of extra batteries at the nearest store when I need them.
The problem with the Kodak v803 is that the battery life totally sucks. At first I thought I was having problems with it only holding a charge for 2 hours because I bought a refurb camera, but that's not the case. After googling the issue I found it was a problem with the battery Kodak uses. I even ordered myself a few backup batteries that all suck. None of them have held a charge for over 2 hours...until now.
I don't know what happened but I haven't had to charge the camera in about a month! Hubby charged it fully before using the video function on the motorcycle one day, and it's held a charge ever since. It's like the battery has been attached to a never-ending power source! Trust me when I say I'm definitely not complaining, but it does freak me out! What the heck has happened to my camera?
