The batteries last a long time. I just checked a battery I charged two weeks ago and it showed 295 min remaining. I guessing this also answers your second question - Yes, the battery time shows up in the viewfinder.

I don't know if you are referring to the battery or the camera? I find the battery does not last long, which is why I bought this additional battery as back up. I keep it with me while I am photographing. If you review your photographs on the camera after you take them, it uses up a lot of battery power, so I do not do that. Depends upon how many photos you take. If I am out all day photographing, the battery might last for one day.

its difficult to say how long batteries last, as it can be variable and dependent upon the number of shots requiring flash, the number of times you turn on-off the camera between shots, and the amount of focusing and telephoto activities. I do use rechargeable batteries (I'm currently using 4-year old 2450 mAH NiMH batteries and easily shoot 150+ pics). With good new batteries, one should get considerably more battery life!

Batteries ONLY!! PLEASE - Do NOT buy this camera! Mine is still in great shape but already will NOT KEEP the time/date? Contacted Canon only to find out it has an internal battery that only THEY can replace and if I wanted to PAY to send it in, the repair would be about $100 ! Are you kidding me? $100 for an internal battery? WOW! No thank YOU! -- Yes, it's over a year old, but still! Now ever time I turn it on, I need to reset the day/time. Totally disappointed in Canon and this camera! Do NOT waste YOUR money, they are FAR better cameras with "chargers" that you can find for your money! GOOD LUCK!! Batteries ONLY!!

That might depend on the camera you use, I have a Canon Vixia HF R300 and the batteries work great with it. I normally get a little over two hours of battery and unlike most other battery substitutes it shows all the displays and battery life duration timers that a canon battery would have. As for a warning screen the only warning I ever get on my camera is a to "Back up my recordings regularly". I have no idea what camera you might be using, but you should check that out on the specifications page of the product, it usually tells you which cameras support these batteries. Other than that i would recommend this item to anyone That might depend on the camera you use, I have a Canon Vixia HF R300 and the batteries work great with it.

We were mainly taking pictures, when we were on our trip. And they lasted longer than the one that came with the camera. They lasted about a day and a half of off and on use. With the two batteries you should be good. I hope this helps you.

It comes with a tiny battery that last just over an hour. I recommend you buy a pair of Wasabi high capacity spares for $45. They last several hours each and are much cheaper and better than the Canon brand batteries.

Hello, Thank you for your interest. We have a large quantity of these models in stock, unfortunately, with most Canon models we do not have a reliable software to track shutter count. That being said, the majority of these cameras have been heavily used and I would anticipate a high shutter count (around 100,000). The cameras come with a battery and charger. You are welcome to purchase one and if the shutter count is not to your satisfaction you can return it for a full refund. Thank you, UsedPhotoPro

It takes a Canon camera battery. They last longer between charges than the AA batteries. It has a built in plug on the charger that comes with the camera, you just plug it into the wall and it recharges. If you are worried about not having a charge when you need it you can purchase an extra battery. They prefer this type here because we use it to take pictures of damages and need it to be charged at all times.

It is Canon's LP-E6 battery and is rechargeable. For shooting photos, it'll last something along the lines of 300-500 shots depending on how you shoot. I don't shoot video, so I couldn't tell you how long they will hold out for video.

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

I bought expensive batteries. Plus my first set ran down really quick because I forgot to always shut off the camera and left it running. So make sure you shut the camera off after you view it it's tricky to figure out... Once I got that my batteries have lasted a while.

I guess it depends on if you are doing long exposures or just normal shooting. I take mine hiking and I am constantly shooting photos in the mountains. I also do some long exposures and I never really noticed how long they last because I take extra batteries with me. I know I have went a month without changing the battery if I am just doing normal shooting.

Too late but....Don't buy camera with external AA batteries. I have a Canon A400, is the cheapest from Canon but Rechargeable batteries can make you spend more money. Buy with NiCd/mAh/lithium-ion integrated like SD600. Rechargeable AA batteries (I have Energizer 2100 mAh) won't last more than a year or two and now I have to buy more.

I received my battery on May 15th. I take a lot of photos, and it just needed to be recharged, on June 10th. Plus if you leave the battery in the camera, it will wear down the battery. Hope this has helped you Thomas.

Can"t help you there. It was bought as a gift for someone who knows cameras. Mite want to check with Canon technical help. They should know and they arr on line.

I haven't had any issues that I know of. The nice thing is the camera doesn't really eat battery power anyway, but I always carry the extra one when I'm out. I don't pay attention to which one goes in, and I couldn't tell you a difference. My only suggestion is you ALWAYS take care of your batteries, and they'll last.
