how long does camera run on a charge

Using it daily it seems to run for 2 to 3 weeks. Typical for lithium type rechargeable battery. I am impressed with battery performance.

the camera will record while charging. I've used it to make a timelapse for several hours, recording (well taking pictures every 5 seconds) with the adapter plugged in, as the camera only has an autonomy of about two hours. The battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced.

I just checked...30 minutes on mine. Nice camera, wish it was a little faster with snapping that photo but it's durable and takes nice shots and the functions are easy to figure out without reading the directions. Good unit for the money.

I get about 12 to 14 minutes off a battery!!! But pushing it hard shorting the time greatly !!! And that's with a camera!!

I plug the camera in before the occasion. Sometimes an hour or two, sometimes overnight. The battery has held out just fine each time I have used it if it is charged, but I've yet to use it for an all day event so I can't say how long it lasts. It certainly doesn't deplete quickly if that's a concern. I have not timed the charging process, but a couple of hours is sufficient to return to full capacity from near zero.

Unfortunately I've never kept track of the actual time. All I know is that I'm satisfied with it's lasting power because I can take many photos on a charge, and it seems like several days go by. I always keep a charged spare with me in any case. Hope that helps.

I am only using this camera for underwater photography so it is kind of difficult to determine exactly how long the battery charge last because depends on how much usage per day, temperature, etc. The camera has an automatic SHUT OFF to save charge and it is rated to last for 500 shots. The number of shots may decrease as the battery gets older.

When it is "brand new" and if you properly charge it the first time (meaning OVERNIGHT) then you will safely get about 3.5 hours out of it. Although my Canon Camcorder says nearly 300 minutes. However, with weekly use, the batterly life will diminsh. I find myself replacing them entirely every year - but I shoot 40-60 minutes every weekend during sports seasons. (so basically I get 2 sports seasons out of them befor they are shot. E.g. Spring Baseball and Fall Soccer).

I would say that the battery life would last you a full day is used immensely, or two-three days with less use. I have used it for over 4-5 days by taking pictures and simply turning the camera on and off as needed because of the quick startup. If you stayed somewhere for a week and needed pictures (and it was charged already) I would say to charge it once more while there to be safe.

I have had the camera on for taking pictures and video for about 6 hours straight and no issues with the battery. I continued to take pictures and video the rest of the weekend on and off. I have not had to charge it yet. I did not try to run the camera completely out yet either. I am very impressed with this camera so far especially the zoom and colors.

All I know is that the batteries go faster if the camera's are left on. Maybe 2 days.

Easily a day, maybe 2. Video will kill the battery. It also depends on how long you look at the pics on the back of the camera.

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.

The battery lasts about 1hr 1/2 to 2 hrs straight recording. You can not charge the battery while recording. I bought an extra battery. Sound quality is great with the camera. Worth the money I spent.

They say one hour of run time. I have not yet run it down fully (I use it in 8-12 minute segments). But it seems to hold a solid charge, and I have used 5-6 different micro cameras, and they all are about 60-70 min run time before needing a recharge.

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

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.
