What is the battery life of this camera
78688
To clarify the above answer. It is helpful to know that while the battery may go 120 minutes, the maximum movie length possible on the TG-3 using 1080p or 720p is 29 min at 30fps. Here is a link to help: http://www.olympus.com.au/Products/Stylus-Compact-Cameras/Tough/TG-3.aspx.

Hi sorry for the delay on the answer. This camera will hold up to 1750 regular 9MB JPEG pictures. The battery life is about 175 pictures, after you've taken this amount of pictures you will need to charge your battery, wich will be 3 hours with the regular charger, that comes with the camera. I love this camera, I'm not a Pro, but for going around the house and take pictures on family reunions or my grandauther it's great. And for less than 100 dollars it's a bargain.

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, I bought this camera for my daughter and she only takes pictures with it so I am afraid I can't answer your question. Sorry.

I'm really not sure but it appears to be about 8 hrs of driving which is more than enough for me. It records in 5 min intervals but on a continous basis. It's a great camera and I've had it for more than 1-1/2 yrs. I like it so much I ordered 2 more but only have two in operation at this time. You'll love it.

as a basic answer depends on how much you use it, For me I got the camera for disney and only one day did it die... but that was after 2 days of using it a lot. but it hold a charge for months... which floored me!

I would steer clear of this camera if I were you, as the camera life isn't much longer than the battery life. :(

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.

There is a little delay. More on some settings than others. I would say the battery life is good but I would recommend having a backup. I haven't had the camera for long and I'm no expert so I don't know what would be considered normal usage. I have shot over a hundred pictures on one battery and that is with some playing around with the camera also. Hope this helps.

Battery should last for approx. 200 shots, but if you view & edit in between taking photos, or take video, it uses more battery life; if it's cold outside, the battery can also be affected. I always bring a backup charged battery just in case.

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

I have not experienced any major battery life issues. I take a lot of photos when I use it and a few video clips as well and don't need to charge up for a couple of days. I am an amateur so I generally keep it on auto with very little to none on manual. I am pretty basic and just wanted a camera that takes great clear photos inspite of my limitations which is exactly what it does for me. I take approximately a couple of hundred in a day plus a video or two when I shoot my alpacas at shows. Then I take about a hundred when we are out in the country while my husband fly fishes and I don't have to recharge for a couple of days. Again I use a pretty basic setting and I only have 1 battery.

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 have had mine on about 12 hours of use. Still have the factory batteries in it. The camera batteries going dead is the problem I run into when do time lapses.

I used the battery on my last trip and had the camera on for long periods. It last for two days, probably around 8 full hours of use. Bought this as a backup battery.

I think the battery life is great! I used one pair of AA batteries to take 600+ pictures on a week long trip last month. I bought the camera over a year ago and have taken many thousands of pictures with it. I have no complaints about batteries. I can even turn it on and take pictures after it has been sitting for a month or two. I've dropped it several times. Even though it has a few dings, it still performs fine underwater.

One Internet review source said to expect 280 shots on a fully charged battery. I can't imagine any issues or problems with battery life, this is not a problem. Great overall, easy to use camera that produces really quality photographs.

The Battery life sucks. every time i look at this camera I want to destroy just because of how bad the battery life is. You take 12 pictures and standard batteries are shot. It didn't start out this terribly, but its progressively gotten this way.
