How many photos on average can you take on one charge (assuming no flash) ? And does the camera have a percentage battery life indicator ?

Never ran out of batter and have 700+ photos on the SD, check the battery and the indicator shows full change and I last charged it in Aug.

There is a battery life indicator. As far as how many photos I don't know. But if you use the flash and the internet and playback you decrease the length of the charge. It is always best to have a backup battery as they tend to run out of power at the worst time. I'm very happy with this camera. My wife has the pre internet version so I was familiar with it. I just wish they both used the same battery

It's a great little camera and has held up very well. However as far as I can tell, the two USB ports (1 regular, 1 mini) are only used for uploading pictures to a computer or other device. I've always had to take it out and use the wall outlet charger. However, it charges rather quickly, just a few hours from zero to full. But I did buy an extra battery, online for less than $10, so I always have a charged-up extra if needed. Recently I returned from a 12 day vacation where I took hundreds of photos. Since few were with flash the original battery lasted the entire trip. Hope this is helpful.Dan It's a great little camera and has held up very well.

WhenI have a full charge for a trip, I can take about 500 photos on one charge. That's with constant zooming in at out, with my SX50 HS. It lasts at least as long as the battery that came with the camera. I hope that this was helpful.

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.

The Battery Life has been great for me. I used it on vacation and regularly took over 100 pictures per day on a single charge. However, the camera did need to be charged daily to ensure that it would last the whole day when taking that many pictures.

The camera does not include a memory card so it will depend on what you choose to purchase. My camera broke after about 20 pictures so I'm not sure how many I could've taken on 1 charge. Before the camera broke, I still had over half the battery remaining. I'm sure it also depends on whether you use the flash.

can take more than 100 pictures without being recharged the battery, the battery lasts much

I just bought and subsequently returned this camera solely based on the battery life. It takes 2 AAs. I put in a fully charged set of 2600 NMh batteries and got 30 shots before the "battery low" indicator came on, and just another 10 before the camera shut down. This was WITHOUT the flash.These same batteries would drive my old Canon point-n-shoot (which took 4 AAs) for several hundred shots.Unacceptable for me. Other than that I had no issues with the camera.

I have only had my camera for a few months but I use it frequently and do not have any complaints with the battery life. I believe I have only had to recharge it twice since I've had it.

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?

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

I don't really think you need one. I have took around 60 films, and still shows full charged. The official data is we can take more than 100 photos with one fully charged battery.

The camera came with a battery and charger. Works very well. A full charged battery will take around 200 pictures before it needs a charge. The battery icon is divided into three sections, once it get to the last it is time to recharge. It will tell you also, and you still can take 2-3 more picutures. I take up to 80-100 pictures at a time, I then recharge so am ready for the next time and have a full battery, although I could probably do it every other time but want to be safe.

Depending on how much you use flash, delve frequently into menus, etc., you can usually expect pretty decent battery life. I've gone a whole day shooting over 200 exposures without depleting the battery entirely.

I don't have enough experience with prolonged photo sessions to give you definitive answer on the battery life. My initial perception is that it's less than the Canon pocket cameras I've used in the past. That's why I bought a couple of aftermarket batteries to have as spares. I did not exhaust the battery over the holiday period, during which time I turned the camera on frequently and took a modest number of photos (less than 100), all on a single charge. I do not view battery life as a negative on this camera.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.
