So it does not have a removable battery and charger. So that you can buy an extra battery.

I gave the camera as a gift but I'm pretty sure it has a removable battery. The online copy of the manual shows that it does - http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCSZ3_ADV.PDF

Only by opening the case, so it can be replaced if you are comfortable doing that. However, you would not just carry a spare battery for extra charge on a trip.

Brian, it comes separate but is cheap and you might pick up an extra battery pack as well depending on your plans for using.

A charger is/was available when I purchased mine, and the price was acceptable. But, the new battery I purchased does not hold a charge (time of use between charges) as long as the old battery I had. In my opinion, not a good selling factor.

extra batteries are available. I purchased the kit which includes many additional items that are very useful.

It can probably have a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Its strange why it doesn't come with anything like that?

Yes, It does bring a battery and charger. In my case there was no charger but that was a shipping mistake.

The package includes a charger that connects to the camera, it does not include a charger that charges the battery by itself.

Sure ... but the whole point in buying the extra batteries and charger is so you don't tie up your camera by charging the battery in the camera.
