Can you use rechargeable batteries on this camera? If so, any particular type? Thanks!

You can use ni-mh rechargable batteries. Sanyo Eneloop batteries are the best.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

I do not think so. When I bought this years ago it only came with the two rechargeable batteries, and they can only be charged by being removed from the camera.

The cameras I bought take 4 x AA batteries, I use re-chargeable NiMiH types. They work perfectly.

Batteries. I use rechargeable batteries but have to recharge them external from the camera.

No, the camera has a rechargeable battery. That is the only thing you can use for it.

This camera just uses 2 AA batteries. My daughter gave me my last Kodak camera, and she also gave me rechargeable batteries with a charger and the batteries work great in this camera. Happy Picture Taking!!!!!

I have not had a problem with the batteries. My use of the camera is occasional so I am not taxing thebatteries to any extent. I don't recall just how long I have had the camera, but to date I have had no need to change the batteries. To my knowledge this camera does not accept charging.

You can use rechargeable batteries, BUT ONLY if they are ALKALINE Batteries. This is what I was told, so best to do what they say. Good Luck!!!!!

You may charge it's battery from an external power bank easily. It takes the same power as a cell phone. But it seems I didn't use it like a camera during that charging time. You may try it - if the camera works being connected to any USB charger it will work with an external battery. Good luck!

Dang, anyone know if there are still any cameras that use real batteries like this? I'd have had to replace my Sony multiple times over if it used proprietary batteries. They're such a pain, and I wish NOTHING used them. I need a new/better camera though, and REALLY want something that still uses regular batteries.

Yes, I have had no trouble with this. I love this camera except for the fact that it does not come with a rechargeable battery. We are constantly going through AA batteries (I know you didn't ask this question but I wish I would have realized this prior to purchase).

You have to take the batteries out of the camera and recharge them in a separate charger. Buy your choice. Or just replace batteries. A downside to this 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. As far as I know, all Nikons, and most cameras now use rechargable batteries. I always buy additional batteries, and an AC charger just in case the one in the camera goes dead, and I am not able to recharge. I use the AC battery charger to charge the extra batteries. I returned this camera the same day I bought it !! The wifi does not work !!

Only AA sized batteries fit in the camera. You can use rechargeables if you want, but I find they don't last all that long. I view this as a benefit since the AA batteries are available nearly everywhere. With other cameras I was always waiting for the battery to recharge, since nothing else fit.

Yes, the batteries are recharegable, and you just plug it in. Great camera!

We have only had our camera for a few months, but the batteries will last a good amount of time depending on how much you are using your zoom. Yes, you can use rechargeable batteries. I just ordered the Eneloop batteries, I hope they work as good as the reviews say they do.
