A SELF-SERVING RESPONSE
KODAK sells a DC adaptor for their cameras. Figuring I could do as well with a RadioShack product, I wrote to KODAK asking for the DC requirements of the camera. Here's their response; We only recommend usage of KODAK AC Adapter for KODAK Digital Cameras. Please note that using non-recommended power adapters could result in fire, electrical shock, or damage to your camera that would void the warranty. KODAK AC Adapters will be the only one to deliver the specific voltage and current required by specific KODAK Cameras. I guess the volt/milliamp requirements will remain a secret. ;o) rj |

Self-serving -- like in avoiding lawsuits.
Alas -- that is the world we live in now. Phil wrote: KODAK sells a DC adaptor for their cameras.

Here's their response; On many of the Nikon Coolpix cameras I've owned the DC requirement is printed on a label on the camera, and possibly given in the manual. Consider: - voltage - current (including peak capability) - ripple voltage - over-current protection etc. Of course, if you want to /risk/ using a 3rd party product of unknown specifications an compatibility - that's up to you. A precision, current-limited power supply is one thing. A cheap "6V" wall-wart is another. David |
