Hi all. I just recently acquired a Kodak DCS315 off of eBay, and I can't wait to recieve the lens for it and start taking digital pictures with it.
However, in my experiments with it this morning... it doesn't power on.
There's no noises, or anything, it simply does not turn on.
DO you think that this may be because I don't have a lens installed, or is there some way of ensuring that when I do get the lens, it will work?
I've only tried batteries so far, mostly because I don't think I have any power adaptors that'll work, would Radio Shack possibly sell a power adaptor that might work?
I've already eMailed the eBay seller, and Kodak to see if there's any possibility that I'm just doing something wrong, or to see if they know something that i don't.
Thanks in advance.
Powering on a Kodak DCS315
whoops.
Whoops, that was me, I thought I had logged in.
After examining the eBay auction further, I have found a small anomaly. The camera in the photos is NOT the camera I recieved, even though the auction specifically said "these are actual photos of the camera you'll get"
The serial# of the one in ahte auction is 03236, the one in my hand is 03226

DCS315 batteries
Hi there and welcome to the vintage Kodak DSLR forum.
You should use rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries with this camera.
Kodak does not recommend using standard AA alkaline batteries because they will not offer the performance (number of shots) that the recommended batteries offer.
More info on Kodak's website:

Hope this helps. Good luck!

DCS315 power issue
I'm not familiar with this particular model, but I've never seen a Nikon camera that will not power on just because the lens is missing.
One more thing I can think of: Try another memory card.
