Can the battery be charged in the camera (like a cell phone) or do you have to take the battery out and use a separate charger?

You have to charge it outside the camera. It's a very good idea to have a spare battery, as your battery will inevitably run down at the worst possible moment. Be aware that Canon will not honor the warranty if a non-Canon battery causes a problem. That didn't stop me from buying a cheaper, third-party battery as a back-up, though, as the cost difference was substantial.

I believe you have to take it out. The camera comes with a battery charger.

As is typical with most subcompact cameras, the Powershot S110 charges the battery externally in a separate charger. So the battery is not charged inside the camera, unlike a typical cell phone. The charger required for the camera's battery is bundled with the camera. Charging normally takes about two hours.Note that it is recommended by most reviewers to buy at least a second battery for the camera, as battery life is noted to be a bit short.

A separate battery charger (included with the camera) is required. You must take the battery out of the camera to charge it. Hence, you should have two (or more) batteries. I really prefer disposable batteries.

NO. The battery can remain in the camera at all times. (Cord #1)AC plug to adapter with USB... then (cord #2) USB to mini USB on camera. If you just plug the USB into a PC (cord #2), the battery will charge. I recommend charging with the AC unit initially.

The camera comes with a charger that plugs directly into the camera so there is no need to remove the battery to charge it. The camera can also be charged by plugging it into a USB port on your computer. I also baught a extra battery for when I was traveling just in case.

Not directly. You leave the battery in the camera and plug the camera in to charge

No, it can only be charged outside the camera with a separate charge. I utilize an additional battery to be prepared to utilize camera at all times.

The Camera came with a separate battery charger. I bought an extra battery so its easy to not miss a picture because you forgot to charge or it ran out.

Battery is charged inside the camera. Battery cannot be charged out side of the camera.

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.

There is no separate charger. You charge the battery while it is in the camera. I was surprised by this inconvenience (when using 2 batteries) for such a well-designed and not-so-inexpensive camera. But that's Sony!

The Battery must be charged in the camera.(but the battery can be removed) After I purchased the camera I bought 2 batteries and a wall charger on-line very cheap. So I could still use the camera while a battery is charging.

You have to take the batteries out of the camera and recharge them in a separate charger. Buy your choice. Or just replace batteries. A downside to this camera.

Yes. You can charge it in the camera (awkward, and you can't use the camera while this is going on) or get a separate charger for a few $$,

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.

No separate battery charger. But you can plug in the camera with the supplied USB cable and charger and it will charge the battery while it is in the camera.

The charger is built into the camera. I believe you can buy a separate battery charger

No,the battery must be removed from the camera in order to charge it. The charger plugs directly into a wall socket (or extension cord). The camera battery fits into the opening in the front of the charger. The prongs on the charger fold into the back of the charging unit for easy storage when not in use.

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.
