Hi Sharon, I just found my Kodak printer dock and the Kodak C195 does not work on it. The battery life is very bad, I am going to try Lithium batteries. Also camera does not come with memory card. Hope this info is Helpful.

Try another battery? You can call their support number, Is camera still under warranty? Just a few thoughts...good luck

My granddaughter did the same thing a few days after the warranty expired and we had to throw it away. I would never buy anything Kodak again!

Yes and it's also having rapid battery discharge while just shooting photos compared to the previous Canons I've owned. Disappointed how quickly the battery must be changed.

I don't have anything useful to tell you. Mine did the same thing. I had to scrap it and get a new one. The Kodak Hero is the worst printer I've ever used. Good luck!

I have experienced the exact same problem and ended up having to buy a new battery. I would stay away from this battery if I were you. It worked well for about a month and then it wouldn't do anything in my camera. A waste of money for sure

this happened to me also and I emailed Kodak customer service. they had me send it in for service and I'm waiting to get it back. I suggest you go to the website and start the process for getting it fixed.

It was a new, in the box camera. We did have some issues with the waterproof statements. However, when it stopped working, Kodak replaced it with a new camera. Thus far, we have not fully tested the replacement.

Yes, that being said it doesn't happen very often because the batteries usually fail after a month, that coincides with a 32mb card being full. I have mine set to film all day on a 4 second delay, days are shorter in the fall so you'll get another week. Battery life varies considerable because their mass produced and temperatures effect them so much, I could write a lengthy dissertation on battery brands and models after using them in my 3 camera's, they are the ultimate battery testers!

I too have this concern. Though it's hard to gauge because people all seem to have different standards about what good battery life is. So please, those of you who reply, be sure to specify in some quantifiable terms how long your batteries lasted, what kind you were using, and whether you used the flash or battery saving settings/techniques. Be as specific as possible. Thanks.I see posts by people who were thrilled that they could take 'almost a whole day' worth of pictures. I have a bulky sony DSC-S50 that will take pictures all day for a week without recharging so I'm not sure if I should be impressed by this for a small camera or not. Depends on how many pictures are being taken on that almost whole day. I too have this concern.

I really can't say. I have only used the printer once over an afternoon at a family reunion and the battery didn't fail. Probably printed 15-20 pictures in a two hour period but it was left on the whole time. Not heavy usage of course, but I had no troubles.

I have not. I have been very please with my camera. About once a month I make sure the unit is plugged in securely though.

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you. Best of luck!

I've had the camera about two years and had the same problem. Apparently the flash is a very weak feature -- I see the same complaint over and over again in reviews of this model. I would rather take it in to a camera shop than send it to Kodak or buy a new camera, but was told that even the shop would just send it to Kodak and charge me extra for being a middleman. Very poor design of flash and battery usage (another common problem -- even with fully charged Kodak rechargable batteries, you only get a few shots at the maximum 8 MP).

Of course, it depends on how many pictures were taken in that hour, the flash, video, replay, and speed. I simply take pictures of my twins on special occasions. I've never really had a problem w/the battery life and can do a good 2 days while traveling w/out recharging. If it continues maybe you can contact customer service about replacing the battery bc the camera must be relatively new. Mine is only 5 months old.

I have only had my camera for a few months but I use it frequently and do not have any complaints with the battery life. I believe I have only had to recharge it twice since I've had it.
