You may charge it's battery from an external power bank easily. It takes the same power as a cell phone. But it seems I didn't use it like a camera during that charging time. You may try it - if the camera works being connected to any USB charger it will work with an external battery. Good luck!

I have this camera and love it. It depends on what u are using it for I would recommend a tipod at thr least. And maybe a secondary battery. And definitly a camera case. The amazon basic slr case is great for this camera

The camera comes with a small charger with a male plug on the back that folds flat against the back of the charger when not used but you have to remove the battery. If you take a lot of pictures , I mean like 135 or more, I would get a spare battery. Great camera, I was going to spend a lot more but I'm glad I didn't.

It ships with a battery and a charger. However, it only ships with a meagre 32MB SD card. You need to buy a good quality, fast memory card (try a 4GB SDHC professional type from Amazon, I am using it with a 4GB Lexar Platinium II 60x) The extra size will come handy for videos and RAW format. Also a must is a 55mm UV filter that would physically protect the lenses. Another must -in my opinion is a 55mm CPOL -Circular Polarizer- filter (sometimes you can buy as a kit, a UV and a CPOL filter kit, 55mm thread. A case is also a must. You can always buy a back up second battery, lots of good third party units are there on Amazon for just above $10. Another good thing is to buy a 2.5" LCD screen protector (film that adheres to your LCD and protects it against scratches). These are the basics / essentials, all for less than $100. Good shooting with your new 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!

This comes with a battery and charger. As always, Canon recommends a full charge before you use the camera. Please note that a partial re-charge on the battery reduces battery life, so start with a full charge. It's worth the wait.

My camera came with the factory battery and charger and included an additional aftermarket battery and charger. Nice to have options. BTW, the aftermarket battery lasts longer than the Nikon battery.

Hi Windie!Mine came with the battery. I have found when the battery starts to get low, the camera refuses to auto focus. It takes a few hours for the battery to recharge, so I purchased an extra one (with a charger). Now, when the battery gets low, all I have to do is switch out the battery! Now to remember to recharge the one coming out of the camera..........................

It's a regular Lithium-Ion battery. It comes with a charger for it that the instruction manual says should be the only type you use with the camera, but I think it would be okay with another charger that fits (but I wouldn't bank on that without some research.).

Robert R.: What did you "figure out" that required "no further comments"?! This is so frustrating trying to figure out which Sony batteries to order. Exactly which battery did you get to fit securely and is the "included battery adaptor" that "wimberleynerd" mentions needed? If so I didn't get one. Please explain. Thanks. SM

Thanks for your question!According to the Sony website this camera should come with the following in the box: Battery (NP-BN)Wrist StrapAC Adaptor (AC-UB10)Instruction ManualPlease be aware that this could vary from seller to seller. I'd recommend contacting the seller to be absolutely certain. You can do this by clicking the seller's name on the product detail page. From there you can click "Contact the seller" in the lower right column of the page.I hope this helps!

I am having the same problem. I love the camera and how it functions, but I'm finding the batteries are costing a lot more than I ever expected. That's a real disappointment. Anyway, have you tried Lithium batteries? They last a little longer but cost a lot. I haven't had the camera very long, but I plan to buy a charger and use rechargeable batteries. That's the cheapest way to go and you don't have to worry about where to recycle the spent batteries. And If you continue to use regular non-rechargeable batteries, be sure to have many many extra batteries with you.. You don't want to be without batteries. That would be the last straw.

I too bought extra batteries and took them with me on several trips. We did have ways to charge them, but I did notice that the batteries I bought from Ebay lasted longer than the battery that came with the camera. Enjoy yourself!!!

Any usb port (computer, audio, car, etc. providing 5 volts cc) on where you can plug the camera charging cord should work. Remember that the battery can be charged only installed in the camera. For long events I recomend to carry a charged spare battery. Hope this will help.
