Does the camera already bring in a batter, other than the additional one?

Yes, the camera box includes a battery as well so you would receive two batteries total in this kit (one battery is Sony brand, the other is made by an aftermarket company).

Did anyone get an answer for this yet? I wanted to the buy the camera and extra battery at the same time.

No, but you can get a charger with 2 batteries on, I believe Amazon, for about $12. Definitely a must. So I always have 1 in the camera and 2 back ups; charged.

The second battery is for extending the number of exposures. This camera comes with a grip that is removeable and the camera maybe operated with or without the grip. This grip holds the second battery and with it attached the number of exposures is doubled.

no, one goes in the camera, the other in the grip. It just extends battery life, I went 2 weeks 1000+ shots before I needed a charge

Basically, though it is not built in. I had an earlier model with a battery that came out to be charged. This battery looks almost the same but gets charged in the camera.

Yes. The system will accept one more camera (indoor or outdoor) if you buy one.

Yes. I bought a spare battery, but it is not nearly as good as the Panasonic

My camera came with a battery and I ordered this as a second battery with a quick charger for travel. I don't feel that I need another battery.

Yes, the grip does not come with the extra "battery". You should hopefully already have 1 of the 2 for your camera.

No, the camera comes with a charger that you take the battery out and put in the charger.

Yes, but the battery is charged while attached to the camera and the camera is plugged in. There is not a separate charger for the battery alone. At least, not that comes with the camera.

Wendy, There is only a single battery in the grip and a single in the camera. This does come with a separate battery holder for regular double A batteries. It is possible to carry the additional carrier with you, though I can tell you that the two lithium batteries hold up for more shooting than you would likely accomplish in a day even under very heavy conditions. I can do multiple lengthy shoots over a week without a recharge.

Certainly! Just like any other camera you can buy extra batteries and an external charger so you always have a fresh battery available.

No, I got one separately. This camera is a bit heavier than some, so make sure the strap will float the weight of the camera.

Yes, my purchase did. I would suggest getting a spare battery. Just in case. I love my camera and take lots of memories.

Camera Camera Provides a spare battery charger and it is not the one that comes with the camera so you get a total of two.
