What kind of battery does this camera use? Does this camera use AA batteries or does it come with a chargeable battery

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.

The included batteries say "precharged" so I measured the voltage on mine and they indeed were already charged. Some people have said they ruined their batteries by charging them for 14 hours or so before using.

Hi Jessica: Looks like this camera uses AA batteries. This means the charger is not needed,nor provided by Sony. Yet, I do see a couple of sellers give rechargeable AA batteries with chargers. You really should direct this question tp the seller. I hope this will help 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.

It takes just 2 AA batteries It doesn't have to be any special brand. This camera takes great pictures. Enjoy your camera! I love mine. Sincerely Doreen

You can use AA rechargable batteries in this camera, or just regular AA. I only use it for a few at a time, so I am not sure I can comment about 100 in a day. Hope this is helpful

Has rechargeable lithium battery-(not the double A batteries that some others have) that is why I bought it for my grandson--it holds a charge for hundreds of pictures. It is a great camera & we just developed some of the pictures--very good!

The camera comes with strap, lith-ion battery, battery charger, software cd, and manual. The camera will use aa batteries, but you will have to buy a double a holder and aa batteries separately

The camera comes with its own built-in rechargeable battery. Ours is working beautifully. Great little camera!

Yes this camera takes regular AA batteries. However, this is a 'high drain device' which means that even the best batteries won't last long. I highly recommend a set of rechargeable AA batteries, such as 3100 capacity (find it on Amazon because the ones in stores are generally 1500 capacity). They recharge quickly and last longer on this device.

No, this camera does not use AA batteries and this Canon camera uses a rechargeable battery and they are not too expensive and charges rather fast. I have several off-branded batteries and a couple of Canon batteries for this camera and battery life seems rather good for any battery I have used in this camera. You also get the Canon battery charger along with a battery with this camera.

Comes with rechargeable battery. No need to buy anything to start taking pictures.

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!

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

Absolutely right!! I'm looking for a new camera now, and DO want the convenience of AA batteries! Please let me know if you find out which camera(s) do take AA batteries...
