I got the kodak easy share 143 model camera coming brand new off of ebay yesterday,,,but it keeps saying my batteries are half drained, then dead after a couple of photos. Then if they're dead it...
Alkaline batteries just don't have the power for more than a few pictures in today's power hungry digital cameras. Some batteries may also have reached their shelf life at the store, and though brand-new right out of the package may even have problems just powering startup of the camera. The one's that came with your camera are just to show you that the camera works, but as you've discovered, they'll only last for a few pictures. Digital cameras that use AA's for the most part should only be used with modern rechargeable batteries. If you read the camera's instruction manual concerning batteries, you should see the same recommendation.
Modern rechargeable batteries have over 5 times the power density of alkaline batteries (that's right, they last up to 5 times longer than an alkaline battery. And you can recharge them over and over!). Keep in mind rechargeable batteries will save you much money in the long run over alkalines, AND they'll last for at least 100 pictures per charge (and probably many many more). You'll be very pleased with their performance, and may be angry with yourself for not buying them sooner. When at the store, look on the package for a power rating of at least 2500 mah.
I also have the problem with the drained batteries. I am spending a small fortune on batteries for this camera. Please help!
i bought brand new batteris yesterday turned camera on and it said change batteris
the same. :-(
I turn on my camera with fully charged batteries and often the Battery warning screen comes up telling me that the batteries are empty.?
Can't afford a new camera. Is there a real solution.

Stopusing this camera (Olympus FE-210), warn all your friends and relativesabout this piece of junk, send the camera back to Olympus COD. Take themoney you save from not buying more batteries for this camera and buy adecent camera from a reputable manufacturer.
