Is this good for geo-tagging? How long does the battery last? If we had an 8 hour route with the camera used at approx 30-40 stops with an average of 5 pics per stop, would the battery last or is there a car charger?

It doesn't have GPS... And I believe if lasts for 250-300 pictures, obviously depending on what else you are doing with it.

Lasts very little. In my 8Gb card I believe I should be able to fit about 74min of HD movie in MP4, but the battery won`t last anywhere near that. I still have to do some further testings, but my guess is that it lasts about 25~35 minutes. Since I haven`t done any tests with the camera only shooting movies, I am not sure about these values, it`s just a rough guess. Anyway, I find that the biggest problem is that it only warns you that the battery is about to end when it is already over, so you don`t get any extra seconds once the battery sign starts blinking (missed some great shots because of that). I carry two batteries with me and I am buying a third one, simply because this camera deserves it (video quality is superb and photo quality is good), I am overall happy with the camera. You just have to adapt yourself to change the batteries more frequently.

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it

The life of the battery is really good under normal circumstances. I suppose the length of your trip and the frequency of your picture taking would also be factors. Perhaps you might be able to get an extra one.

You do not say for how long assume you do this till the battery dies which I have never done&lt; it should last a couple hours I have taken 30 to 40 pictures in a matter of 10 mins. and the battery did not drain so sorry but little help here I am satisfied with the normal charge life of these.

Hey. This camera hasn't battery - this is car recorder, you should use in car usb charger. It's very dark in evening times. And video has a lot of graininess after sunset. I'm not recomend you buy this camera

First of all it held a charge longer than the Panasonic that came with the camera. We were on vacation and the camera was on all day, now and then it would go on sleep mode. We took an average of 104 photos per battery. The camera is great! Battery power could be better in my opinion.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it might depend on factors such as quality settings when you record using it. I will say I used it several times filming roads around my town and drove for hours and it didn't deplete my battery. Also I recently had taken it out to use it after it was in a drawer and months had gone by but it was still fully charged. Seriously I don't think you'll have any problems and also it's easy to charge using the USB either on your lap top or I use an Apple iPad charger on occasion. Just take off the cable for the iPad and plug the one for the MUVI into it. Faster! Hope I helped! I love the MUVI! I still am happy with the quality of the video.

The charge is comparable to the name brand battery. Charge life depends on how I an using rhe camera. In photography mode, the battery may consume more power due to the constant zoom and focusing. During the video recording mode, it seems to last longer. Overall, i would give the battery charge to last at least 1.5 hours. Recharging time is fast. I would buy this battery again for my camera bag as you can never have too many backup batteries!

Hi sorry for the delay on the answer. This camera will hold up to 1750 regular 9MB JPEG pictures. The battery life is about 175 pictures, after you've taken this amount of pictures you will need to charge your battery, wich will be 3 hours with the regular charger, that comes with the camera. I love this camera, I'm not a Pro, but for going around the house and take pictures on family reunions or my grandauther it's great. And for less than 100 dollars it's a bargain.

I used the battery on my last trip and had the camera on for long periods. It last for two days, probably around 8 full hours of use. Bought this as a backup battery.

The battery life is good. I have used it to take videos as well as pictures and the battery lasts. The only time I have charged it is when I plug it in to transfer pics to my computer. Otherwise I can get 2 to 3 days of using it a lot and the battery life is great.

The battery on mine lasts around 90-110 minutes using the HD video. Make sure you get a bigger sd card if you plan on using HD video. I have mine mounted on my bicycle handle. I wouldn't recommend operating it while riding, there's a delay in the power on and off. It does have audio cues but probably not loud enough to hear riding. If you don't mind turning on and off while stopped it's a great camera for the price just has a few little quirks. When you first turn it on and start recording wait a minute then look at the light to make sure it's still recording - sometimes when it first starts it only records for a few seconds then shuts off.

Sorry I've taken so long. We've been busy. On a trip to Machu Picchu, we took pics all day long and our battery held up well, only using about a half of it's life. I hope this helps. We bought a second battery so when we needed to, we could replace the other. I must say, I took 3 short videos in a row and the battery went way down. But just taking pics didn't seem to phase it much at all.

So far, the battery has held a pretty good charge. I get about 150 pics if I use a lot of the special filters and zoom continuously. If I just take regular pics using just the zoom and no filters, I get about 200. It also holds a charge for a few days if you don't use the camera and have it turned off. That's what I usually get with any Fuji camera, whether they use a propriatary battery or AA batteries. I bought a second battery from Amazon, and keep both charged. It's a pretty spectacular little camera. I've used other pocket compacts and none of them even come close to this little guy in picture quality and features.
