Yeah, they come with the one battery that you can't recharge unless you buy the base.
And no, I didn't look at the peripherals at the time - I was under time pressure when I bought the camera.
As for the "twenty camera" thing - It wasn't my choice to switch up, Best Buy and Kodak did that to honor the warrenty.
And no, I don't complain about printer ink cartridges. I don't use a printer. I'll wait for a good quality one that isn't playing the lexmark game with their cartridges.
I'm not claiming "Film" will be gone. I am under the impression that film processing costs will increase, and quality cameras that are inexpensive will vanish to be replaced by plastic lensed cameras, or very expensive film cameras.
And what'll happen in another year? Film will still be around and people like you will be saying "Give it another year".
Don't be so sure about that.
Kodak isn't dumping the film line because the digitals are better - they are dumping them because the digital's are more profitable.
They start out by not letting you charge the camera's unless you have a base that you purchase seperately, or buy a wall charger.
It continues on to only 15.00 kodak batteries will charge in the base station.
Then, if you decide to upgrade from a 4000 series to a 6000 series camera, your 70 dollar base station is useless, and you have to buy another.
If you want to print your pictures on a kodak printstation - you'll have to buy for the 4000, then when you upgrade, you'll have to buy for the 6000.
With a film based camera - they don't get dick uunless you buy from Kodak.
Add to that kodak is another company that hires India to do its tech support, and you'll see how much they are saving.
Me? I purchased one o their 4000 series at best buy, then puchased their base for rapid recharge.
6 months into owning the camera - it stopped charging on the base. I called Kodak and they told me to get a new base for it - Best Buy swapped it, and it still wouldn't charge.
I brought the camera in (thank god I god the extended warrenty) and since best buy doesn't carry that 4220 anymore swapped it with a 6340.
I brought it home to set it up and found the base design differnt - after 4 hours yelling at the India girl and telling her "No, I'm not going to buy another f$@king base to charge my camera - since you were the one that told me to get my camera replaced."
After trips to best buy and an entangled battle with India - I finally got the base station swapped out and am currently charging my camera now.
Had I known that they were doing "series based" peripherals for the digital camera - I would NOT have gone with Kodak.
so to make a long rant short - Kodak knows where the money is to be made - that's why they are killing the film line.
Wow - a negative one for pointing out where someone got screwed from a/. effect.
I'm baffled why anyone would rate the post for any reason - and am sorta suspicious that I might be being moderated by folks who have unlimited "don't fuck with slashdot" points.
Why do folks need to/. cool sites with big movies? All it does is cost them huge bucks that/. folks don't pay, and drive them offline.
Check out the recent victim -
Over this holliday weekend a very popular website called Slashdot.org put up an article about my site and provided a direct link (without my consent so I could prepare for it) to my CGI ATIS virtual ride-thru project. While this was very flattering it also turned out to be very expensive for me. On a single day on (Saturday November 30th) I received 11,000 users that downloaded 33840.220 MB worth of stuff from the site. Due to the high bandwidth used, the Atommobiles.com site was shut down and I was left with a huge $1000.00 bill to pay. I am still working out details about bandwidth issues and I am switching to a more expensive account to get the site back online. So for now, all movies will be removed from the site and the site is in danger of being taken down until these issues get resolved. I will try to keep this site online as long as I can but without the help of some donations this site might become extinct just like Adventure Thru Inner Space. A sad day for me and fans it will be, indeed.
Barely holding on.....

Thank you everyone for all your support.

The thing is, with the horrible service ATT provides, they are faced with losing 40% of their customer base. They are dragging their heels desperatly trying to find ways to stop the upsoming mass exodus.
I myself have U.S. Cellular, and I love it. No roaming calls when you're in the area of the area plan and rarely have dropped calls.
I believe that the proper reaction is: "About Fucking Time."
Well, anyone with half a brain already set IE to just ask to allow scripting. On a pop up site you just toss it into the high security zone and block scripting.
I use IE and haven't had a pop up ad in two years.
And yes, I'm on windows 2000 and I don't crash every day - and haven't seen the blue screen of death for the entire time either.
I delete my thousand music files once a month when I reinstall Windows because the damn OS is so unstable. Over the past year I've deleted 12000 music files, the same ones twelve times.
DOJ CLAIM: Peaceful political organizations engaging in political advocacy cannot be considered terrorists under the PATRIOT Act's new definition of domestic terrorism. Under the PATRIOT Act, a violation of some criminal law involving risk of serious injury must occur before a person can be labeled a domestic terrorist. But it is easy to see how if an anti-abortion activist blocks traffic as part of a protest, or swings a sign and hits someone on the head, he could be labeled a terrorist. Such activities should be illegal, but they should not be subject to the threat of being labeled terrorism, triggering application of draconian law enforcement powers, such as the power to seize property D including cars, boats and homes.

Of course - A judge still has to ok the jaywalker or abortionist to be a terrorist - But let's not let silly facts get into the way of another overblown attack on the patriot act - which few (if any) of the people against it have actually read it.
60,000,000 years worth of plants divided by 365 to see how many years worth of gas we get equals 164,383 years at our present rate of consumption. Where's the problem?
how precisely does the 1x1 gif collect my email address for AT&T?
Not only that - I signed up from work. I used Mailinator for the e-mail address. And any calls that come in from the telemarketers now cost 11,000.00 to call - so I have no idea why this would be an issue.
BTW - Pepsi did announce that they were sending twelve packs of their product in return for being able to bypass the DNC list - Me? I have no problem with that - Before the DNC all I got was an annoying telemarketer that I got to harrass with the Judge Judy Soundboard - NOW - I'll be getting a twelve pack of Pop, and STILL be able to harass them with annoying sound blurbs.
Nah, you're missing the strategy: (1) Give away IM; (2) Get everyone in the world to live/breath/eat/sleep your IM service, like Crack; (3) monetize it.
By and large the sheep will fork out their credit cards to keep the crack coming. Monetizing MSN is MS's wet dream.
I was referring to the tack RIAA will likely take after they get a thousand or so SBC customers that pay up for copywright violations and head for the deep pockets at SBC.
At first I was lauding SBC for not bowing to RIAA's demands - I thought "Finally, Someone standing up for the Legal system, and the correct use of it.
That was until I read the part of their advertisement on Downloading songs. SBC realizes that if a case can be brought against many of their subscribers for downloading mp3's - then by extension they were facilitating theft knowingly by advertising how to do it - this is going to be one of the most interesting legal fights in a decade.

No - they are killing their film camera line.
They are not killing their digital camera line.
they are doing it to help their bottom line.
I'm not claiming "Film" will be gone. I am under the impression that film processing costs will increase, and quality cameras that are inexpensive will vanish to be replaced by plastic lensed cameras, or very expensive film cameras.

BTW
55378008,
Is "BOOBLESS" upside down - as the parent poster indicated
and 7734 is "hell" for the same reasons.
So the person who tried to whack me on 80085 is pretty f'king clueless.
Uh huh.
//points and laughs
and the other two listing given were in plain showings as well?
BTW - We missed one other old calc number
71077345
Umm, no - it doesn't.
The numbers would be typed in, and the calculator inverted to read the result.
80085 would read as "SBOOB" instead of "BOOBS" if we followed your advice.
Actually - 80085 should of been 58008...
Carry on...

Why stop at Mars?
Pluto is warming too.
Yeah - but this is slashdot - who the frick RTFA first?

Nope.
Haven't found it used at a garage sale or video store.
Might borrow a friends - none of these methods enrich MPAA.
Also, when I'm done watching the DVD I usually sell it for a profit on our corporate intranet classifieds board.
