It's not totally uncommon for some cameras to get "warm" if you leave them on for prolonged periods of time. You normally see it more with cameras that use lithium-ion batteries but it can happen with high capacity Ni-MH AAs, too. The longer you leave it on, the warmer it gets. This is not necessarily anything to worry about, unless it actually gets "hot", as in, hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold. If this is the case, contact Kodak tech support for more info. If it's just a bit warm after you leave it on a while, it's probably nothing to worry about. You can of course avoid this by just turning the camera off when you're not using it or walking around a lot, or, setting the power down mode so that it goes to standby mode after a couple of minutes of non use.
