| I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one. Some people here are reviewing this product as the be all that ends all and well frankly I'm having some problems. To give you some background, I didn't buy the product because it was easy to transfer photos, I work with computers every day and plugging in a cable is not that difficult for me to spend 70 bucks. I bought this thing because it CHARGES batteries and it came with an extra battery. I'm a firm believer that when you go on a trip you are not going to want to bring everything along with you and you never know how much you will want to use your camera so I alway bring extra everything. One of the problems is that they include a rechargible battery with the camera, but give you no means of charging it, and they tell you not to use any regular batteries. Well now it appears that my EASY share docking station does not charge the battery that came with the docking station. It charges the one that came with my DX3900 camera, but not the one that came with the station. The battery is dead, the camera tells me so, so I plug the camera up to the docking station, it says "battery level good" I unplug the camera, turn it on, the battery level light flashes and the camera promptly dies and turns off. Immediately plug the camera back into the docking station, it tells me "battery level good" and does not charge the battery. Whats more I read a review on amazon.com about my camera that said that Kodak told the reviewer that the docking station will actually drain the battery if you leave the camera on the station too long when it doesn't need to be charged. The lesson learned...I'm going to buy another battery, because the one that came with my camera doesn't have a very good batterly life. I'm going to charge it initially and be very careful how long I leave it on the charger. If I have any more problems, I'll be sure to edit this review and air my complaints. |
