HI -I own one of these and have 2 questions

1 -I saw that someone had a flash/media card that they used & then had a "drive" they put this into connected to the pc -what/where/how much?

2- I want a charger but not official kodak as rip-off -can I buy a variable voltage one? If so how do I ensure I don't blow it up!

Answer to Q1. I think you want a USB card reader. Cost about £20 from Jessops , Dixons , 7dayshop.com, comet & places like that.
Answer to Q2. If you mean a battery charger, you can get ono of these in any of the above places too. Expect to pay about £15 with NiMh 1500 Ma batteries. If you mean a power supply for the camera, you must get one that is voltage stabilised. They are about £10 to £15 pounds.
Hope that helps.
Steeve.
