does ths camera have rechargeable batteries??

I like this camera very much and, yes, it does have rechargeable batteries. However, the charge does not last as long as I would like. Previously I used cameras with rechargeable AA batteries and the charge lasted much longer. Depending on how you use a camera, this might affect your decision. I only use a camera while traveling and take lots of pictures every day so how long the charge lasts is important to me. I do keep extra batteries with me but it's kind of irritating to have to stop and change batteries during a 'Kodak moment' which lasts only a few seconds. While I am happy with this camera, I think I'll go back to the ones that use rechargeable AA batteries. I like this camera very much and, yes, it does have rechargeable batteries.

No. It has a rectangular shaped rechargible battery and comes with a charger. Good idea to buy 1 or 2 batteries and keep them as charged backup. The camera is NOT a battery hog from my experience.

The battery is rechargeable, but it comes with a wall charger where it sits in it. It's not USB Chargeable. It's good to buy an extra battery. Not that expensive. I have this camera and it works very well.

Yes, it is rechargeable and comes with the charger. I am very satisfied with the performance of the camera and believe the price has reduced also since I purchased it last year.

Yes this camera takes regular AA batteries. However, it is a 'high drain device' which means that even the best batteries won't last long. I highly recommend a set of rechargeable AA batteries. In stores you can commonly find these at the 1500 level but I recommend going as high as you can. Amazon has 3100 capacity rechargeable AA batteries. They come with a wall plug, car adapter and European plug option so you won't be left hanging. These batteries also recharge quickly. Normal batteries will cost you a bundle for this camera.

Yes, my camera came with a rechargable battery, a charger that is a USB or you can plug it in the wall! Very awesome! And it came with another cord that you can hook up the camera to an LCD tv or I think a any flat screen too.

It has a rechargeable battery. You didn't ask but I have to tell you this is a great little camera. We bought it before an Alaskan cruise and we got some great glacier shots from long distances. Also, unlike the Lumix this camera replaced, it holds the charge well. I did a lot of research before we bought this because we need more zoom capability and we were not disappointed. In addition, the editing tool is just too easy to use. Research said this was a great camera for the price and they were right on target.

Oops. Are we not to use rechargeables? My ds got this camera for Christmas and we put rechargeables in (and have not had to replace them yet). No problems here....

Yes, the battery is rechargeable. It works well with the video camera. Nice to have an extra one just in case.

The batteries were store bought and rechargeable. I have found them to last much longer than my previous Olympus camera. Very satisfied with battery life. I hope this is useful information.

No. sorry, this camera uses a lithium battery. LP-E8 standard. (Per manual )

Yes it does use a rechargeable lithium battery and auto focus is great but after about 20 pictures had to send back for warranty work. When turned on takes 30 to 35 seconds before you can take any pictures not 1 1/2 seconds as advertised.

I recently got one of these and it has a rechargeable battery in it. You plug a cord into the camera to recharge it in an outlet.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable (a recharger comes with the camera) and the user manual says it work for 300 photos. The camera strap comes in the box. I´m using a SD bought at Target ( I don't remember the brand, but it costed about 17 dollars). I bought a kit that is very worthwhile for approximately $ 30 that comes with a battery, a charger to use in cars, a case that fits the camera and accesories, a tripod, the strap for the case etc.

yes. there is a battery pack, and the recharger is in the form of a wall adapter with a usb cable to hook to the camera. There isn't a wall charger in where you put the battery in the charger. its all in the camera. you can get aftermarket ones.

Yes! It comes with a rechargeable battery and a small charger that has a nice feature where it shows at what charge the battery is. ( Red = Low - Green = Full ) Neat feature! Battery lasts about I'd say 4-5 hours of active use ( Active being defined as taking pictures every thirty or so seconds ) so it's quite a great rechargeable battery.
