Rechargable batteries Fuji V10: How is the battery life?
1699898
The camera comes with a cord to plug the camera into an AC outlet. When the camera is plugged in, the battery recharges. That takes about two hours. I'm not sure how the long the battery lasts when charged though. I only just got the camera. I took photos with it for about a half hour or so. The rechargable battery seems to last longer than AA batteries would with my old camera.

I am getting about 800 pictures out of a set of rechargeable batteries. Try using Energizer rechargeable - 2300 mAh batteries. They seem to last well. I don't know about lower setting - I don't think so. I do know that the higher setting slows down the speed that you can take pictures, but I don't think it affects the length of the batteries.

initially it took about 2+ hours, since that initial charge it has been recharging to a full charge in about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. They are great batteries and have a very good runtime. I can use mine for almost 4 hours straight before the low battery warning light comes on in the camcorder. Great product.

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge.

The batteries I received were not labeled FUJIFILM. The label said "FOR FUJI NP-85, 3.7V 1900mAh, 7.0Wh lithium battery". For comparison, the FUJIFILM batteries are 1700mAh. Both of the new batteries I received have performed as well as the original "name brand" battery that came with my camera. I should also note that the charger works great.

Sorry, but I can't really say. It seems to last as long as the old one did. I tend to always put the batteries on the charger after I take a lot of photos over the course of a couple of weeks, but I've never paid attention to what the battery level is.

You know I went on vacation early November to PR and I have to say I survived ALL DAY on one battery. But, I don't use flash, and I don't chimp. I just shot jpg+raw, with a few short videos, under a minute. I would only charge the battery back at the hotel overnight. I was there three days, and returned with about 1300 images. No problems running out of juice.If I were to get another battery I would swap them out each charge. I would not let either the original battery, or the replacement sitting idle. I would run one down, then swap it out, let the worn battery charge...

I purchase rechargeable batteries (just regular energizer rechargeable) but I like the fact that when I am traveling or forget to recharge I can just stop by a drugstore and pick up replacements. I have an earlier Fuji Finepix (S5200) and cannot wait for this new one to arrive. While shopping for the first one I had 3 very simple requirements. * A decent sized screen - one sees the world through that screen * A point and shoot that takes excellent photos * disposable batteries I am most happy with the S5200 and have no doubt that the S8000 will be a perfect upgrade!

1) The battery is rechargeable. In fact, it comes with a battery wall charger.2) Based on my experience, it would last from 1.5-2 days, with about 300-400 photos. I didn't use much flash though.3) It comes with a strap.4) I'm currently using a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC Ultra Class 10 with an adapter and everything's working out fine so far.

With my MB-D200 I carry the charged EN-EL3e as a spare and 6, 12 or more rechargeables (depending the assignment) These are 2500 - 2900 mA NiMH and generally last more or less as long as the proprietary battery. I have not seen much performance difference between expensive and cheap ones, but I guess the cheap ones will just die sooner (well, maybe not...) In the case of the MB-D10 of course, you would have to pack multiples of 8. Anyway, I always carry a box full of charged NiMH's, because I have to "feed" the flashes as well.

I use rechargeable batteries. How long they last seems to be a function of how many pictures i take over a short period of time. When I take abot 20 pictures and then don't use the camera for 4 months, it still has the battery juice for another 50 pics. I did run out it one day after about 425 pics however. I have solved this issue by always taking a fully charged set of batteries with the camera set. Hope this helps.

In all honesty I haven't used my camera all that much and I haven't recorded videos, which I imagine would drain the battery quicker. With that said, I charged my camera two months ago when I got it and I haven't re-charged it since. I've used it intermittently for fishing pictures and haven't noticed any issues with the battery life. My old Olympus camera had great battery life and stayed charged for several days of use, and from what I've seen with this one, I don't expect the battery life to be much different (although this camera is 12 MP and my old one was 4 MP - perhaps my old camera didn't use much juice in comparison???).

I couldn't say exactly, but definitely a long time! I don't change my battery often. I have 3 batteries: 2 Wasabi and 1 Lumix, and I haven't noticed a difference between them. They're always full-power according to the camera indicator when I switch to a new one. I'd say on average I change my battery every couple weeks, but the one I randomly replace it with may have been sitting a month at least.

I haven't specifically used video that long, but with a couple of short (less than a minute vignettes each) with several hundred stills, 400+, and shooting off of the screen on the back and reviewing each shot as long as needed, I was able to do all that and the battery held up fine. That was over a couple of days even, and finally charged it when it got to about 5% after all that. Hope that helps.

The battery used in this camera is the FujiFilm NP-45A Lithium Ion battery ($16 on Amazon as of this morning). For a day at the beach with moderate photo use, I needed two fully charged batteries. If you're using video, you must have two batteries to get you through the day. The battery or batteries must be charged using the plug-in wall charger. It does not charge via a USB to a wall socket or a computer power source.

Depends on battery. If you buy the Maximal replacement battery for Sony F series batteries, it will last about 5 1/2 hours. I tested it myself, and love using this as a main monitor, with the Ninja Blade for the FF. Hope this helps!

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!
