Does this camera need a special battery pack or just need AA batteries with holder (as described on other sites)? Please clear this up

It can use 4 lithium Battery or I purchased on Amazon the rechargeable pack. Last longer than the AA battery and you can carry the other for a back up. Rechargeable lasts longer than the AA and can be reused. You will love the camera. I do.

The camera should come with either a rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack or a holder that accepts AA batteries. One or the other.

It comes with the D-BH109 battery holder (4 AA batteries) and a pack of 4 Energizer Lithium AA's (non-rechargeable). I use a set of 4 AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries just fine! The K-50 comes with the rechargeable li-ion battery back and charger. The K-500 comes with the battery holder and AA's.

AA batteries come with it. Purchasing a rechargeable battery pack is optional.

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 only takes AA batteries. They seem to last a good while and you can carry extras so you don't run out at a party or something. The only cable that came in my box is the USB cable. There is a camera strap in there also that might look like a cord in some pictures maybe??

The battery is not built in. It is a battery pack that clips into the camera and it is included in the package. The battery life is good in terms of lasting time. Also the auto focus on this camera is amazing. My wife has been using it to film her youtube nail art tutorials

Camera comes with and uses a rechargable battery. It also comes with an AC Adaptor to charge the battery.

Hello there, in my box there was an AC adaptor, rechargeable battery, Micro USB cable, wrist strap and 2 small connectors (for connecting a larger next strap - not included). I separately purchased an out-of-camera wall charger and a 2 spare batteries. Battery life is pretty good... I got about 300 shots (some HDR) and 4 short (30 sec) videos over a single 4 hour session of fairly consistent shooting, but for normal - take it on a hike or to the birthday party - use it should last all day.

Yes, I have had no trouble with this. I love this camera except for the fact that it does not come with a rechargeable battery. We are constantly going through AA batteries (I know you didn't ask this question but I wish I would have realized this prior to purchase).

The pack includes a new designed strap (like Canon strap, but still narrower, only about 4CM), there's no AA battery adapter. If you buy an addditonal grip. that will be included, but still not work without that grip.

My SX150 IS came with two AA batteries (cheap ones...didn't last long so have some on hand) and no memory card. Most cameras don't include a memory card so this isn't unexpected. I love the camera...I use it as a "bag" camera when doing anything serious with my Canon digital SLR camera and find myself using it more and more. Kate

Comes wit 4 pre charge rechargable batteries with charger, but instructions want you to charge the batteries first. Thats one reason that I bought this camera, you could use AA batteries.

I can't believe this website doesn't provide a "what's in the box" section - I can't find it either! Yes, it comes with a battery, but the AC power unit does not always charge the battery - check the manual, but I think it either only charges when the camera is turned off, or maybe doesn't charge it at all. In any case, a couple spare batteries (with a wall charger) are a must for this camera.I believe it comes with component output cords but it has an HDMI port, which is the most useful for getting video out of it.

It uses 4 AA batteries. That is a feature I liked because the batteries always run out when you are in the middle of taking pictures, and it is easy to have extra AA batteries to keep taking photos. But it would take time to recharge the batteries and you would miss out on photo opportunities.

This is not a battery it is a holder so you can use AA batteries in your camera. So for how long the batteries will last would depend on the batteries you put in it.

Yes. It will take regular aa or rechargeable. Depending on how many pictures you are going to take, it's worth the small investment for the rechargeable batteries.

Hi Joyce,According to the Canon Powershot A1300 website, AA batteries are the ones required for that particular camera.Jack
