Can you upload the video directly to youtube? How long does the battery life last? Will it last for one day trip? if I turn off wifi when not using it... How often the battery need to be replaced? If it's rechargeable how long before it needs to be...

Uploads are managed by your phone or laptop, you cannot upload to anywhere but Samsung's service directly from the camera. Using Wifi, I can run the battery down very quickly (about 4 of hours, 200 photos, some remote viewfinder, some auto backup to the phone and one movie.). The battery is rechargable LiIon, so with decent management will last years. If you want more battery life, transfer files with the usb to your laptop (It will charge at the same time), or use a lower resolution for faster transfers. I currently use a Duracell portable power pack that can recharge my phone and/or the camera while not near a charger.

If streaming video the tablet has a battery life of about 6 hours. If just used for an hour or so to play games it'll last for days.

Of course, it depends on how many pictures were taken in that hour, the flash, video, replay, and speed. I simply take pictures of my twins on special occasions. I've never really had a problem w/the battery life and can do a good 2 days while traveling w/out recharging. If it continues maybe you can contact customer service about replacing the battery bc the camera must be relatively new. Mine is only 5 months old.

This thing is really buggy. I've only uploaded a video to it once. I've seen it disappear songs though. I would save anything on it to a backup device.

Battery life is short. I think Gps is a big drain on it. But a spare can be purchase at a cheap price from a off brand distributor.

A few hours unless you have the video going the whole time. The video will drain the battery faster.

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)

It depends upon the usage. It consumes way fast like one day if you use the wi-fi and flash functionalities simultaneously and successively. But the battery is nice as it can be charged fast too, like 2 hours. So if you want this camera, I suggest you get a spare battery. :)

i came here to ask same thing. love the speaker, really loud but battery went bad really fast and now i can only get about an hour use before it goes dead :'( and from others say i guess it's just a matter of time before it doesn't work at all.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

A good brand regular battery seems to last several hours. Am pretty sure you can add music to it fromiTunes. I'm very pleased with mine and have gotten hours of pleasure from it and found it simple touse even though I am up there in age (almost 70).

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

I have only used it once skiing. It looks like about two hours of continuous recording. I just put it on record for the day of skiing and it turned off sometime during the day after it had run out of battery. I liked the video I got. I need to find a better way of attaching to get more of the action.

Where did you hear that? Of course not. I use mine daily and it usually lasts for 2-3 days based on my reading, web surfing and emailing activity. I let the battery completely run down after I first charged it and it lasted almost 11 hours. On average I get at least 10 hours of active use on it, but I usually charge it every three days.

so far for last couple of months that looks like the battery hold a full charge on video and music to last up to 5 to 6 hours. it's less than 4 months old so u have to judge that yourself.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

In my experience, the battery lasts only about 5 hours... so if you need to record 8 hours, buy 2 of them and swap them out after 4 to 5 hours. Note it should automatically create a new WAV file about every 2 hours. It also won't record while it's plugged into a USB port, so you can't charge it and record at the same time. :(
