No, those batteries are connected in series not parallel.
You don't need a resistor to limit the current, providing the batteries are both the same capacity, voltage and inittially charge to approximately the same level, just connect them up in parallel (+ to + and - to -) and it'll be fine.
You need to up on ohms law - by your question you obviously don't understand it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohms_law
Basically your battery has a constant voltage, (the mAh rating is the capacity measured in miliamp hours and is irrelevant here) the camera is a load resistor that draws a current depending on its resistance which is the same regardless of the mAh value of the batteries.
V = IR
For example a:
1 ohm load draws 1 Amps from a 1V supply.
2 ohm load draws 2 Amps from a 2V supply.
2 ohm load draws 1 Amp from a 2V supply.
Suppose your camera draws 1.5A (750mA) from your 7.2V battery:
Resistance of camera = 7.2/0.75 = 9.6 ohms.
Your 1500mAh (1.5Ah) battery will last:
Time = 1.5/0.75 = 2 hours/
Two 1500mAh (1.5Ah) batteries in parallel will last:
Total Battery Capacity = 2*1.5 = 3Ah
Time = 3/0.75 = 4 hours which is twice as long (obviously)
