Jusy bought an olympus digicam D-230, bargain 1/2 price
from pc world, seems quite good quality,
question is will I need an adaptor for a mains power suply,cause I
used 2 sets of duracel batteries yesterday just taking a couple
of pictures and putting them on the pc, Has anyone else experienced
the same problem?
Cheers Taffyboyo!!!!
ps, I'm a bit thick so chances are I'm doing something wrong!!!!!

 

We've got a similar model at work and that too goes through batteries like nobodies business. It seems to be the LCD screen that drains them, try using it without the screen or get some rechargeables

 

Are they AA batteries or similar?

Best to invest in a set of high capacity NiMh batteries. Might be best to try a specialist photo shop rather than Argos for them.

Or somewhere like http://www.countybattery.co.uk/ that offers 1800Ma ones.

I have a similar camera. You'll find that the cheap power adapters don't work, u need the special Olympus adapter at £70 YES SEVENTY POUNDS.

Buy rechargables and away you go.

 

Cheers folks done & dusted!!!!!!!!
Jessops was the best deal I found.
Charger & 6 batteries NiMh £14.90
