It was an easyshare mini and it had some kind of rechargable battery in it.
He's got the easy share sport now which is much better for a little boy because it's waterproof to 10'.
I don't think he's put it down since he got his hands on it.
Something clever here.

I took apart a camera once as a kid. The capacitor (or was it a whatchmadamit) for the flash would damn near knock you over. Only took me 15-20 jolts to figure it out.
It was lots of fun at school.

It's a shame your boy got zapped. That's never a good thing to see your kid get hurt, especially with a new "toy" for Christmas.
That being said, it's a shame you didn't keep the camera.
I'd have regifted it to my brother in law, if it had been me.
Now that would be pure entertainment!

If you would've waited and held on to that camera, I'm sure Isaac would've been able to get you a real nice camera in about a year....

Capacitor charged then shorted when handled. High V low current, like a minitazer of sorts.
Caps are a blast to play with , but can certianly also kill you if large enough.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

That's what happens when you buy garbage. I will never own anything that says "Kodak" on it or is connected to Kodak in any way. Don't even think about one of their P.O.S. printers either. I have watched that company going down the drain for over 25 years now. They moved all their production to Xiaman, China in the late 90's. They are a bunch of "Global Economy" "politically correct" A-holes; and I'm even an ex-Kodak employee. A 3rd generation one; who now uses Fuji film in my Nikon 35mm and owns a Canon digital. In case you haven't heard, those arrogant S.O.B.'s are now filing for chapter eleven. P.S. Don't bother calling the better business bureau either; Kodak withdrew from that several years ago when the BBB began expulsion proceedings against Kodak because of all the consumer complaints they were ignoring.

KODAK UPDATE; Yesterday, (2-9-2012) Kodak announced that they are getting out of the camera business. My buddy and I were discussing it today and I told him that if anyone were still buying them then I'm sure they'd still be making them. Apparently their reputation for cheap junk finally caught up with them. Once upon a time they made great stuff but that was years ago.
