Does this require batteries you buy at the store? I was going to get the Nikon Coolpix but changed my mind because it requires 4 store bought batterie

It is a battery pack that you charge, not individual Duracell style batteries.

the camera has a rechargeable square battery pack that comes with a wall charger... super easy.. quick charging and no store bought batteries.

If you are wondering if it comes with batteries, it does not. They must be purchased separately. Also on a side note, if you buy any products that combine more than 1 battery, please make sure that all the specs match up, such as examples as shown, This is a "RAYOVAC" after market battery I bought from "Batteries Plus" (7.4V), (1050mAh), (8Wh), Li-Ion. The factory battery is a "NIKON" is (7.4V), (1030mAh), (7.7Wh), Li-Ion. You'll notice the (mAh and the Wh) do not match up. Do not mix the two batteries as it could damage your camera or other electronic devices. But the cool part about the product you are inquiring about works just fine with one battery at a time. Hope this helps! Happy shopping and Happy shooting!

Thanks for this info. Not many people use the GPS and so you are the first to input on it. I have ordered a couple more batteries. I will need the GPS alot. I just hope I can figure it out once I get the camera. Stormy

Most electronic stores have the battery, aldo Amazon. There is a photo button on the camera which will let you take a still picture.

I use rechargeable batteries. How long they last seems to be a function of how many pictures i take over a short period of time. When I take abot 20 pictures and then don't use the camera for 4 months, it still has the battery juice for another 50 pics. I did run out it one day after about 425 pics however. I have solved this issue by always taking a fully charged set of batteries with the camera set. Hope this helps.

A separate battery charger (included with the camera) is required. You must take the battery out of the camera to charge it. Hence, you should have two (or more) batteries. I really prefer disposable batteries.

To be frank. Yes. But I find my rechargeable batteries can be used for about 20 minutes, then I turn the camera off. The next time I turn it on I get about 10-15 before the batteries need to be recharged, but I always carry two sets of rechargeable batteries. I wouldn't advise this camera if you don't use rechargeables (batteries), otherwise it's an extra $75-200 a year depending on what batteries you use.

It doesn't come with batteries. You have to go to the store and buy some on your own.

Does the camera come with battery, or should a battery and charger be ordered? Anything else a "must" with this camera?(Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 7.1x Wide Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3-Inch LC)

I don't know if you are referring to the battery or the camera? I find the battery does not last long, which is why I bought this additional battery as back up. I keep it with me while I am photographing. If you review your photographs on the camera after you take them, it uses up a lot of battery power, so I do not do that. Depends upon how many photos you take. If I am out all day photographing, the battery might last for one day.

It uses 4 AA batteries. That is a feature I liked because the batteries always run out when you are in the middle of taking pictures, and it is easy to have extra AA batteries to keep taking photos. But it would take time to recharge the batteries and you would miss out on photo opportunities.

no you don't have to.just buy an extra battery and keep it charged with you.it is bulky and heavy if you are not shooting professional long video and sessions.keep your money in your pocket.

Yes, battery is included. I just returned from a trip on which I took up to 400 hundred photos (and some movies) each day. I think the battery always lasted all day - as long as I was certain to start with it fully-charged in the morning. However, I always carry a spare battery, and I recommend it, even though the battery life of this camera is much, much better than it was for its predecessors.

I got this camera for Christmas. I had bought a regular pack of AA batteries (not special camera ones) for kids toys and such and just threw some in the camera to try it out and thought for sure they'd only last for a couple pictures. I got quite a bit of use out of them before they died, I was surprised! Only thing is, I didn't see any warning before they did die, I just turned it on and it said battery was dead.. so I advise you to carry an extra pair with you.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered. Regards

I checked out what model my camera was and it is your EOS. It is an after market battery. Most brick&mortar stores don't carry batteries. My Best Buy salesman told me where to get them.

You definately need more than one battery for this camera. They drain faster than I have ever expereinced, esp. in cold weather. They do charge quickley though.It is the only weak point of the camera that I have come across -not bad , and for the price ...amazing! I have not tried aftermarket batteries in this camera but I use Vivitar batteries in my Olympus Stylus with no difference.
