What kind of battery life are you guys getting out of this camera on full charge?

I haven't really gauged how long the battery lasts; much depends on flash usage, video vs. stills, etc. But, the battery in my new camera out lasts its predecessor, and I don't even give battery life a second thought. If you're worried, get a second, back-up battery.

Poor. The battery seems to quit unexpectedly. I've contacted Fuji to see about sending the camera/battery back for possible repair.

I get about 12 to 14 minutes off a battery!!! But pushing it hard shorting the time greatly !!! And that's with a camera!!

all day and no problem. :) a fully charged new battery gives about 1.5 hour for video and 4 hours for picture taking. It is a fun little camera.

My longest video has been half an hour and the battery is OK for that. I bought an Olympus charger and extra battery but have not needed it so far.

as a basic answer depends on how much you use it, For me I got the camera for disney and only one day did it die... but that was after 2 days of using it a lot. but it hold a charge for months... which floored me!

I've honestly never drained my battery. I've taken over 200 pics in a day a several short (40 second) videos. My battery never died on me.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

Sorry I've taken so long. We've been busy. On a trip to Machu Picchu, we took pics all day long and our battery held up well, only using about a half of it's life. I hope this helps. We bought a second battery so when we needed to, we could replace the other. I must say, I took 3 short videos in a row and the battery went way down. But just taking pics didn't seem to phase it much at all.

I use the Sony NP-FV100 and get about 4hrs. I believe the stock battery is about 1-1/2hrsgreat camera

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps! It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used.

You know I went on vacation early November to PR and I have to say I survived ALL DAY on one battery. But, I don't use flash, and I don't chimp. I just shot jpg+raw, with a few short videos, under a minute. I would only charge the battery back at the hotel overnight. I was there three days, and returned with about 1300 images. No problems running out of juice.If I were to get another battery I would swap them out each charge. I would not let either the original battery, or the replacement sitting idle. I would run one down, then swap it out, let the worn battery charge...

I've used it when fully charged but never run it down completely. I have the Sony CX230 Handycam, which shows full charge for recording at 6 hrs 50 mins, that's a lot of recording time. The size and weight actually makes the camera feel more substantial. It's comfortable to hold and adds some balance when zooming in, not heavy or bulky. I use this battery as my main battery and keep the original FV30 as backup, which I haven't needed so far.The longest nonstop recording I've made so far is 30 mins, the battery still held almost 6 hours for recording. Playback obviously shows a different battery life, but it was still over 5 hours with the one charge.Hope this helps. I've used it when fully charged but never run it down completely.

I don't have enough experience with prolonged photo sessions to give you definitive answer on the battery life. My initial perception is that it's less than the Canon pocket cameras I've used in the past. That's why I bought a couple of aftermarket batteries to have as spares. I did not exhaust the battery over the holiday period, during which time I turned the camera on frequently and took a modest number of photos (less than 100), all on a single charge. I do not view battery life as a negative on this camera.

I used the battery on my last trip and had the camera on for long periods. It last for two days, probably around 8 full hours of use. Bought this as a backup battery.

I plug the camera in before the occasion. Sometimes an hour or two, sometimes overnight. The battery has held out just fine each time I have used it if it is charged, but I've yet to use it for an all day event so I can't say how long it lasts. It certainly doesn't deplete quickly if that's a concern. I have not timed the charging process, but a couple of hours is sufficient to return to full capacity from near zero.
