For continuos recording ( start to finish approximately-3 hours/ randonm pictures and videos, the battery could last up to 6 hours.

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

I would do a "test run" with your camera to see how many photos you can take during a day. It may be help to remove the battery each day as some cameras will drain the power. I have never been away from charging power for that length of time so I can not give an accurate answer.

Plugged in all the time. You can purchase an optional battery pack for it (which will still need to be plugged in to the camera)

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.

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

No complaints on battery life--just to make sure, I plug it in prior to going out to take pictures with it--just avoid overcharging for long periods of time. (not good for any rechargeable battery).

The battery will last 2 hours of recording time on a full charge but lasts days while on standby. For thirty bucks I was very impressed with this camera for my applications

First of all it held a charge longer than the Panasonic that came with the camera. We were on vacation and the camera was on all day, now and then it would go on sleep mode. We took an average of 104 photos per battery. The camera is great! Battery power could be better in my opinion.

I take high resolution photos so battery life is shorter than it would be with lower. Right now it is 1/4 used up and has 109 minutes on it. I plan to buy a spare battery and keep one charged all the time.

The battery life is better than average but I turn the camera off after shooting pix. Have not used the video, so can't answer your question there. I have taken the camera and pictures all day turning it off when not shooting and it never balks at all with power. You may wish to restate your question as someone may use it more frequently than I. I do most of my shooting for eBay items I list, so it is generally not a pleasure camera. I never fear running out of juice. Hope that helps.

Great! We have used the camera for over 100 pictures over a few hours all in one charge. I usually charge it after an event just out of habit, but so far the battery has not been dead to need it. I bought an extra battery but have not used it. Hope this helps.

Easily a day, maybe 2. Video will kill the battery. It also depends on how long you look at the pics on the back of the camera.

In most cases in low light the picture is a little darker. There is a feature on the camera that tells you to flip up the flash. When you do that there is no problem. As far as the battery it last much longer then I am used too. I can take about 250 pictures. If I set it at the ECO mode I can take 330 pictures There is a feature that tells you that the battery is getting low. The charger comes with the camera and it recharges the battery in 2 hours. The battery will last 1.5 hours of continuous shooting.Hope this helps you

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you.Best of luck!

My first camera lasted for only 25 pictures on one charge. I charged the battery for two hours. I sent it back and got another one. This one lasted for about 60 pictures! I don't know if I should send this one back as well. I love the camera, but I think the charge should last for more than one day. Any one else with problems with battery life?

I have had the cameras in the woods for over a month and they both say they have 75% or the battery life left. I have gotten about 50 to 60 pictures from each unit.
