Just regular AA but you could buy lithium or rechargeable batteries as long as you have a charger for them.

I got this camera for my son and he likes to make short movies with it plus take pictures and we go through batteries like crazy. If your taking a picture and then turn it off then on again they last longer. However if your taking say music program pictures or pictures where the camera is on for more than say 15 minutes at a time the batteries start to drain quickly and will not last for more than an hour or so.

Takes 2 standard AA Alkaline Batteries -but- Rechargeable NiMH Batteries will work too.

Uses AA batteries, but have use it for more than 100 pictures and havent yet needed to recharge the ones the camera came with.

It takes 2 double A batteries. they don't last long. Look for a camera with a Lithium battery like the Panasonic Luminex. Also the Panasonic goes underwater up to 25 to 30ft. whereas the Nikon is only 7 to 10 ft. It is worth a few dollars more. I own both cameras and the Pansonic, even though it is orange, is a better camera.

This camera uses 4 - AA batteries, you can´t plug it to an electrical outlet. However you can buy 4 - AA rechargable batteries and recharge them at home from your electrical outlet. I have done that and you can save some money that way. Hope it helps you

The camera comes with a cord to plug the camera into an AC outlet. When the camera is plugged in, the battery recharges. That takes about two hours. I'm not sure how the long the battery lasts when charged though. I only just got the camera.I took photos with it for about a half hour or so. The rechargable battery seems to last longer than AA batteries would with my old camera.

Comes wit 4 pre charge rechargable batteries with charger, but instructions want you to charge the batteries first. Thats one reason that I bought this camera, you could use AA batteries.

It does take regular AA batteries however I've found the camera works best with Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. If you use regular AA batteries they will be drained in a very short time. (Less than 50 pics or so) I normally keep regular AA's as spares if I'm out somewhere where I don't have time to recharge my LI batteries.

It uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The battery must be recharged in the camera (no separate charger is provided) so an extra battery is handy.

No, the camera has a rechargeable battery. That is the only thing you can use for it.

Yes, that is on of the major advantages of this camera, it uses AA batteries.

YES- it has a rechargeable battery. It comes with the AC charging adapter, a USB cable, an audio/visual cable, software CD-ROM & user's manuel. This camera does all kinds of things that I haven't even had the chance to try!

Yes, the batteries are recharegable, and you just plug it in. Great camera!

Yes. It will take regular aa or rechargeable. Depending on how many pictures you are going to take, it's worth the small investment for the rechargeable batteries.

It has a rechargeable battery. You didn't ask but I have to tell you this is a great little camera. We bought it before an Alaskan cruise and we got some great glacier shots from long distances. Also, unlike the Lumix this camera replaced, it holds the charge well. I did a lot of research before we bought this because we need more zoom capability and we were not disappointed. In addition, the editing tool is just too easy to use. Research said this was a great camera for the price and they were right on target.

It takes 4 AA batteries or can plug into the wall but the wall plug is not a charger in order for the camera to work without baytteries it has to stay plugged in.

This camera uses four AA batteries - preferably Lithium (available here at Amazon), or a charger and rechargable batteries (also available from Amazon), or alkaline AA batteries. I prefer disposable batteries and although more expensive than alkaline AA batteries, it seems smart to buy and use AA lithium batteries, since they are supposed to have EIGHT times more useage than alkaline batteries. The camera includes four off-brand AA batteries, which are great for beginning practice use of the camera.

Rechargeable, yes. As conveniently at AA, definitely not. I regret buying this camera and for all the rave reviews about it I can't give mine away. This camera sucks battery life a Hoover vacuum cleaner.

It only uses AA batteries, and it burns through them rather quickly. The camera often died at the worst times.
