Roughly how many pictures can be taken with a fully charged battery: (1) Without flash &amp; (2) Using flash? Thanks!

That would depend on the amount of memory found on the SD Memory Card (which must be purchased separately). I do not believe using flash has any effect on the space the picture takes on the card, though.

It uses 4 double AA batteries. I use energizer 2300 mAh rechargeables and got about 400 pictures on one charge, but I also was not using the flash very much.

I used this camera on our vacation with a new set of lithium batteries and took 890 pictures on that set over a week--I haven't changed that set yet. Very few were taken with flash, but I did zoom in and out quite a bit, and changed the scene to macro, etc. I have been very happy with the battery life--even the AAs that came with the camera lasted for a couple hundred pictures for me. I tend to think that the short battery life others are seeing is due to a problem, since I am seeing so many pictures from one set of AAs.

It depends on your camera settings and which SD card you are using.. 4GB, 8GB etc,... I guess with 8GB card, at 16MP setting, you can at least take 1500 - 1700 pics.. in one go with full battery charged, at least 200 pictures...

Nearly 100 pics in normal settings ,with a fully charged battery. And with a 16GB you can take 4000 pics.

Like anything else, it depends on what kind of use you give it. On an average day with only a few if no flashes, one battery is more than adequate. However if you are going to take LOTS of pictures with flash and/ or video, you will need another one handy. I bought a very reasonably priced 2nd battery for our recent trip to Alaska. Two was more than enough, and I took LOTS of pictures. Having a 2nd one handy already charged and ready to go if you need one is best if you anticipate heavy usage. I found two more than enough for that kind of use.

Sorry = I don't have a good answer - I used charged batteries and keep a spare (uncharged) for backup. It seemed like they lasted a long time. One problem - recently, I couldn't get the camera to turn off - had to remove the batteries to get it off - haven't retried it! I'm a big help! I do like the camera!

I do not have an absolute time, it depends upon how much juice you are using for flash, etc, I do know you could probably get through a shoot of 100 to 150 shots over several days before you get a notice concerning battery.

I usually get several hundred pictures on a charge. I did buy an external charger and two spare batteries (from "Big Mike" on Amazon, very affordable), but rarely find that I need to swap batteries during a day of shooting.

I have taken 300+ pictures mixed with a few videos on a fully charged battery. It will also hold a charge for a long time when not in use.

I don't know how many recharges the battery will take. I took many pictures on vacation and ran down the battery. It recharged just fine. As a backup, I then bought two "knock-off" batteries from Radio Shack (online), and they have been just fine. MUCH less expensive than from Canon or anywhere else.

Honestly, I have never counted the number of pictures taken before changing batteries, but I just put new ones in and I will keep track and let you know when I hit 30+. I have already taken 16. One thing I do know, when it starts flashing, it will continue to take pictures that need a flash for an additioal 10 to 15 pictures, it just takes longer to recharge so you cant take the pictures in a fast manor. Since I do not take moving subjects, this is not a problem for me. I take pictures frequently so I will return with the number of photos taken to make the icon start to flash. I will answer again at that time.

The camera came with a battery and charger. Works very well. A full charged battery will take around 200 pictures before it needs a charge. The battery icon is divided into three sections, once it get to the last it is time to recharge. It will tell you also, and you still can take 2-3 more picutures. I take up to 80-100 pictures at a time, I then recharge so am ready for the next time and have a full battery, although I could probably do it every other time but want to be safe.

I purchased a couple back-up batteries online just in case, since I would be in remote areas while shooting. A fully charged battery is good for about 260 min. I shot about 200 photos a day, and about 30 min of movies without ever having to go to a back-up battery. I thought battery life was very good. Best to stick with brand names, or reliable sources though when purchasing back-ups, as I did end up with 1 battery that would not take a full charge.

Reports say 10 minutes battery life on video. I'd call this a short burst video camera. I have 16 GB memory card to cover my casual image and video use. Video shooting for you might need 32 or 64 GB card. Extra batteries certainly needed (Amazon has replacement $4 & $4 shipping). I just got camera & have only tried auto with flash on, day and night---resulting in super sharp quality photos. Have not tried any video, but should be excellent because of several setting options. I was super-surprised with picture quality, with night flash shots.

Yes, flash usage and videos use up a lot of battery power in the camera. However pictures are usually still possible when it says that you need batteries.

I have never counted; but I do know that I always take a spare battery with me when ever I take my camera to events....only once have I run-out of battery 'juice' needing to change the battery...probably after 600 plus shots.soooo, I would recommend the battery. I hope this helps. Joel/MrG
