how long does the camera battery last if you have been shooting pictures all day?

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

I want to say about 5 - 6 hours for me. I zoom A Lot but I still get many hours of shooting time, if I shoot a lot of videos that cuts into it also. I always carry an extra battery or two so I don't miss anything.

Unfortunately I've never kept track of the actual time. All I know is that I'm satisfied with it's lasting power because I can take many photos on a charge, and it seems like several days go by. I always keep a charged spare with me in any case. Hope that helps.

I have had the camera on for taking pictures and video for about 6 hours straight and no issues with the battery. I continued to take pictures and video the rest of the weekend on and off. I have not had to charge it yet. I did not try to run the camera completely out yet either. I am very impressed with this camera so far especially the zoom and colors.

There is a little delay. More on some settings than others. I would say the battery life is good but I would recommend having a backup. I haven't had the camera for long and I'm no expert so I don't know what would be considered normal usage. I have shot over a hundred pictures on one battery and that is with some playing around with the camera also. Hope this helps.

I don't use it every day. But it seems to last a week or longer. I plug it in over night and it's charged back up. I've been very pleased with the photo quality as well.

The batteries that came with it barely made it through a day. I switched to Duracell and got much better results, maybe 2.5 days. Of course, it depends on how consistently you are taking pictures. I have noticed after taking photos consistently for a while, the camera begins to turn off on its own and you have to turn it back on. Great camera for the money though. Oh, and remember videos will drain the battery much faster.

I take high resolution photos so battery life is shorter than it would be with lower. Right now it is 1/4 used up and has 109 minutes on it. I plan to buy a spare battery and keep one charged all the time.

I have taken one fully charged battery on day trips, taking pictures the whole time. I always bring a back-up (fully charged) battery in my camera bag, and have yet to need it! So the exact life of the charge I can't say, but they seem to last very long to me. Hope this helps a little.

Battery should last for approx. 200 shots, but if you view & edit in between taking photos, or take video, it uses more battery life; if it's cold outside, the battery can also be affected. I always bring a backup charged battery just in case.

I have a Nikon Coolpix camera, and my batteries would last for about 120-140 pictures. I took that many pictures a day, so I would swap out every other day, and recharge one each night. At home, I only take a few pictures on occasion, so the one battery last for several weeks. So it really depends on how many pictures you will be taking daily.

I've never timed it, but I went for an extended horseback ride with friends, shooting video every few minutes, for sometimes a few minutes at a time, and never ran down the battery. Did probably a dozen little vids, and still pics, too. I've never run out of battery, but after I've used the camera quite a bit, I put it in the nifty wall charger, so that I don't get out there and find a dead battery. Hate that! Love my camera!

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you. Best of luck!

All I know is that the batteries go faster if the camera's are left on. Maybe 2 days.

I'm not sure what the max is, but I'll take mine out and grab 400+ photos and I'll still have like 1/3 battery left or more. And it holds a charge for a pretty long time. If I'm not shooting, I can go like a week without charging the battery. Hope that helps.

Depends on what you are doing. Shooting movies uses the power up faster than still shots. I spend a lot of time looking at the menu and adjusting settings, then experimenting with them. A newly charged battery in my camera shows an average of 255 minutes; over 4 hours. That is excellent compared to other cameras' batteries.

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

The battery lasts about 2 hours of actual time used. The battery doesn't drain when the camera is off, which is nice. If you use the time lapse mode you can set it to take a picture every .5, 1, 5, 10, 30, and 60 seconds. The battery lasts the same amount of time whether it's taking pictures or videos.
