Does this include a separate battery charger ? My concern is having to charge the battery inside the camera. I prefer to use a separate charger.

I will have to go back and look. I believe it came with the usb charger cable. I also had an earlier Lumix w/came with a separate battery charger which works and I prefer to use, so I don't think I've used the charging cable more than once.

Yes you must remove the battery from the camera. This is an external charger. I normally charge my extra battery this way so I always have a fresh battery handy.

Yes, a battery is included. It only charges on the camera unless you purchase the separate charger. I purchased the charger and an additional battery so I can be charging while the camcorder is in continous use.

Mine came with a charger, but I still charge the factory battery with the camera, not the aftermarket charger.

Yes, with this charger, you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it.

You charge the battery while it is still in the camera. You will have to buy a separate wall charger if you want to charge the battery without it being in the camera.

It comes with a charger...but not the style you can put a battery in. One that plugs into the camera itself.

You have to buy a separate charger. It's not furnished with the camera. If not you have to charge the battery while in the camera. You need to have a fully charged extra battery with you if you are out in the field or on vacation.

it comes with charger that plugs into camera, if you want to charge battery separately, you have to order one. Amazon has several, some with extra battery.

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 camera is charged by plugging an AC adapter into a plug in the back of the camera, all of which came with the camera. There was not a separate charger which charges the battery in the package we received (I

Yes. It comes with a battery charger -- you take the battery out of the camera and put it into the charger which plugs into a standard electric outlet. A battery in good shape with last quite a long time after being charged.

Mine does not. Battery is removed for charging. Have tried to charge with the USB cable and camera isn't set up to charge this way. The battery charger is setup for a wall outlet. Battery lasts a long time. Have not needed a second battery with this camera.

Yes, an in camera battery charger is included. If you want an external, stand alone charger, you'll have to purchase that seperatly

I wondered the same thing but when I got the camera, there is a single battery charger included in the standard camera box

Yes. It comes with a rechargeable battery and an external charger. You must remove the battery to charge it. I prefer this arrangement because you can buy an extra battery and charge it while still using your camera.
