How long does the battery on the camera last?

Don't buy, I ordered 1 didn't work so I sent it back, and they sent me another, and that one didn't work either. Buy a different kind, stay away from this one.

Naturally depends on use...mine has been great when taking pics (6 hours); video-about two.

I think battery life is ~2-2.5 hours; I have just used this to record my classes and I have never taken pictures with this. I think I have seen a menu for taking pictures but I have never done it myself. I think this is a basic feature which most camera's have now a days so this camera would have that too. Thanks, -Ashish.

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge. As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for.

The battery lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use the zoom on my camera. I have to charge it about once a week. Great battery.

The batteries that came with it barely made it through a day. I switched to Duracell and got much better results, maybe 2.5 days. Of course, it depends on how consistently you are taking pictures. I have noticed after taking photos consistently for a while, the camera begins to turn off on its own and you have to turn it back on. Great camera for the money though. Oh, and remember videos will drain the battery much faster.

I don't know, I'm not that good with a camera. I do know the battery last for ever.

The charge takes less than two hours after the initial charge. My batter lasted me almost two weeks of non continuous shooting, so all in all probably 8-10 hours of serious continuous shooting. However if you are shooting a lot of indoor shots, it might last less as the live mode seems to burn battery a bit more than auto.

new camera and not yet sure about it. There is a rechargeable battery which yet to fully test how long it lasts when fully charged

The battery that comes with the camera will last a good hour. I purchased an extra battery, VW-VBK360 Lithium-ion Battery, that last for a good 4 hours. I use the original battery as a backup.

I can not tell you how long as it is highly depended on use. I can tell you that the battery life is not horrible, but not great compared to other cameras I have had

The camera comes with a cord to plug the camera into an AC outlet. When the camera is plugged in, the battery recharges. That takes about two hours. I'm not sure how the long the battery lasts when charged though. I only just got the camera.I took photos with it for about a half hour or so. The rechargable battery seems to last longer than AA batteries would with my old camera.

It maybe gives me 90 minutes to two hours of standard use, which includes filming of course, standby, occasional zooming, etc. That is just an estimate, and I have not actually timed it. But either way it is a lot longer that what the included battery offers.

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

The battery is rechargeable and lasts for approximately 300 shots. I think the battery life is effected by the amount of times you zoom in or out since the lens is operated via the battery. The camera comes with a very nice camera strap. A standard size sd card (not micro) works in the camera. Hope this helps!

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.
