Does this camcorder come with a battery and charger already? On the official website, it says it doesn't.

Camera did come with a battery and AC adapter/charger. I was concerned about that too, so I called Panasonic and they said it does come with charger and battery. However, you can't charge the battery outside the camera. The ac adapter charges the battery when pluged into ac and the camera is on standby. I was concerned about battery life so I bought additional batteries and a charger from Amazon (Mfg.-Wasabi). So far the camera is working ok, but there is a learning curve how to use all the features. I haven't had a chance to use it too often as yet, but it does take good video.

Hi,I had purchased this camera about two months ago from the same source. Yes, a Canon battery and charger are included in the package. I also purchased a second battery from another source and I'm glad I did. Videos, flash photography, and multiple shot mode all eat into battery time.

I don't know the exact times but it isn't that long. Batteries that come bundled with camcorders typically aren't that great. I'm getting an external charger (otherwise you have to charge it inside the camcorder) and an additional battery so I won't ever find myself without power.

No, it doesn't come with a charger, but comes with an AC adapter. You can buy a charger here on Amazon. Search for "Sony BC-TRV"; $29.25 as of this writing. A couple other Sony chargers also work; check the accessories catalog that come with the camcorder. The camcorder uses V batteries. Make sure to get genuine Sony chargers and batteries. I once bought a cheap generic battery made in Korea and it melted.

I love this camera. It does not come with a charger. It brings a cord that is connected to camera and computer. It does not come with a memory card. It comes with one battery. I think you'll like the camera.

Yes and No. Yes, you have a charger allowing you to charge your battery through your camcorder.No, it is not an external charger where you'd connect only the battery. The battery has to be connected to the camcorder and the charger cable plugged in the camcorder...Hope this makes it clear.

The battery is included, along with a charger, but you will want to buy a memory card that is sold separately. The battery life is great, I purchased the SanDisk one recommended to buy with the camera.

I don't own this camera, but I'm hearing it does not have a seprate charger. It charges on the camera. The battery has been around for a while, and you should be able to find an external charger cheaply.
