I asked for rechargeable CR-V3s for Christmas, but got 4 Ni-Mh rechargeable instead. The CR-V3 looks the same as 2 Ni-Mh's... just stuck together. So I think they'll fit... I'm just a little leery of putting them in. The package on the Ni-MS says, "Compatible for most digital cameras".
What does everyone think? I've looked through the Kodak book and found nothing.

Most, if not all, cameras that can use AA batteries (your Kodak Z712 IS included) can use the NiMH variant. NiMHs have become the "standard" over NiCd since they are available with higher capacities; Li-ION batteries since they are more affordable.
CR-V3 (Lithium-Ion) batteries tend to hold a charge longer than NiMH batteries and may last somewhat longer between charges.
Something to note: Kodak pushes the more expensive Lithiums [1] and warns against using alkaline "batteries in EasyShare cameras because they may cause unexpected shutdowns and loss of pictures." They design their cameras to take AA but it may damage your camera? More like a push for their batteries -- there's really no concern.

Yes.
The manufacturers handook for my Pentax *istDS DSLR lists the CR-V3 and AA Ni-Mh as the two preferred alternative battery types.

Yes you can do that. The battery life is a little bit shorter with the Ni-Mh. But at least you can recharge them.
