does this camera have a rechargable battery

Yes. The SX170 camera uses a Canon NB-6LH proprietary battery. It is charged with a separate charger which comes in the original box. Spare Canon NB-6LH batteries sell on Amazon for about $38 apiece. If you don't like the idea of paying that much for each spare battery, then please consider buying the previous model instead - the Canon SX160 - which uses 2-AA batteries. If you buy top-quality rechargeable AA batteries, like the Sanyo eneloop style, they will cost you about $4 per pair on Amazon. They will last twice as long with each charge, and their shelf is also much longer. They can be recharged in any standard AA battery recharger for less than one cent per charge, about 1500 times. The features, functions and specs on both cameras - the SX160 and the SX170 - are identical except for the batteries. The final images produced are also identical. Please see my Amazon review of the SX160, if you are interested in saving money, and yet still getting the same identical, high-quality images for a lower price. Best wishes, John AKA SLOphoto1

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 camera comes complete with a rechargeable battery. I tested the battery's life on a 13-hour photo excursion (turned the unit off when I wasn't using it) and it performed well. You can purchase a rechargeable battery for this unit, they're easy to find...but you don't need to. It powers a memory of 101 photos and 26 minutes of video. If you buy a 4-gigabit chip you get 697-pic capability. During those 13 hours, I tried to shoot that many photos and didn't even come close.

YES- it has a rechargeable battery. It comes with the AC charging adapter, a USB cable, an audio/visual cable, software CD-ROM & user's manuel. This camera does all kinds of things that I haven't even had the chance to try!

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.

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.

Hi Suzanne, Yes, it is a rechargeable battery. The cord is kind of short but still ok. It plugs into the side of the camera and then into the wall or power strip etc. Cord comes with camera.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable. How long it lasts depends on how much time you spend using the cameras on board editing such as 'cropping', 'D-light', etc, also whether you are using flash or not. Under general usage I get between 100 to 120 shots per charge. I have had the S50 for a month now & am delighted with it's performance!

No it uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery that comes with the camera and a wall charger comes with it as well.

The answers to your questions are both yes. Battery is rechargeable and the camera ships with a charger. I am still very pleased with the camera.

No. It requires a special battery which it comes with. I also purchased 2 additional batteries through Amazon for just 20.00. Love this camera. It takes fantastic pictures and video - even underwater, but the battery life is short lived. Therefore, we carry the 2 extra batteries with us for easy replacement on the go.

yes it has a rechargeable battery. I'm sure you could buy the replacement type online. The battery will last over a day of on and off use.

Yes, it has the rechargeable battery and charger in addition to the camera itself?

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.
