A 12v camera battery is probablly going to be a Lithium battery. This type of battery is not good to use for a high current drain application such as the Xmods. The lithium batteries have a very high internal resistance. When too much current draw is demanded they simply add a large amount of resistance in the supply circuitry. In short - you don't get the performance gains you would expect.
It is best to try and use NiMH cells instead. Take a look at this thread to see if you would want to try this for voltage increase -

These batteries have the same current drain as all of the rechargeable AAAs everyone is currently using.
