How long will the batteries last? I'm only able to check my came every 2 weeks.. I'm wondering about battery life and size of sd card for 2 weeks

I can usually get two weeks worth of photos from a fresh set of batteries, but that's about pushing the limit. It will have a lot to do with how you have the camera set. Mine is set to take a photo every 10 seconds. If you set yours to 5 seconds, you probably won't make two weeks. All I can tell you on the sd card is that I bought the highest capacity one the camera will take, and I haven't had any problems with it. I did see some reports that this camera will only work well with certain makes of sd card. I bought one of the recommended ones, the Patriot 32 GB SDHC Class 4, and have had no problems. One other note on this camera. It has a fairly wide angle lens, and anything out very far shows up so small that it's hard to tell what it is. It is a great camera for patterning game travel patterns though. Good luck with it!

Hi Robert,With a 32GB card you should have no probem with memory size, unless you set the camera for a picturte every 5 seconds. Regarding batteries I believe 2 weeks is close to the limit. Again it will depend on the settings. I think this is a cost effective camera (I have 3), because it costs way less than some of the alternatives and does the job.

The batteries will last much longer than two weeks. You will want a large SD card. I have a 16 GB and 32 GB that I use. I hardly ever put mine out anymore because it takes so long to review the pictures.

Thanks for the information. I was afraid that was the case. I have an older SanDisk player that has a replaceable battery but you have to buy the new battery and a special tool kit just to install it. And you are right, with prices dropping on these devices it is cheaper just to buy a new unit. Thanks again for the input. I think I will complain to Creative although it will probably do no good.

Sorry, I wish I can help. I bought a couple sd cards and haven't figured out how they work, so they are still in their packaging. Sorry.

I can't answer precisely,it lasts loong... :) I recharge it once a week or two,depending on how much I use it.On a vacation, I recharged it first time after 3 days of shooting pics and lots of videos ( I have a 32 gb card in it )... I'm satisfied with battery life!

It depends on you. If you are just shooting a few pictures, absolutely not. If you are on a trip of a lifetime, you would be foolish not to have a few and adequate sized SD cards. In Italy, last week I easily went through a battery or two a day--several hundred pictures. Amazon sell some generic replacement batteries that have a charger and are very reasonably priced. I would rather carry an extra very small battery than a Sony paperweight.

Hello Mike, sorry for taking so long to reply, I was out of town. I may only be able to help you with one of your questions, unless you want to walk me thorugh figuring out the other ones. The SD card slot IS full size. The highest memory is 128 GB. NOt sure about the rest. Hope this helps.

You do not say for how long assume you do this till the battery dies which I have never done&lt; it should last a couple hours I have taken 30 to 40 pictures in a matter of 10 mins. and the battery did not drain so sorry but little help here I am satisfied with the normal charge life of these.

Sorry I never put an SD card in mine. Only way I can think of is to take the SD out and put it into an card reader. Or keep looking in the menu.

I have an 8GB micro SD card (SanDisk). It is good for 120 minutes. Every time one turns the camera on and off, it creates a new file.

My experience is that it holds its charge for quite a while. 2 Weeks should be no problem at all for maintaining a full charge. The "meter" on the side is 4 blue lights. Once it is fully charged and you press the power button, you will still see 4 blue lights.

Yes, I was actually surprised the batteries lasted a month. Figured they'd get used up fast but not in this case. Really works too. Hope this helps.

how much do you think the battery lasts when shooting at 720 fps?Is an 8gb card enough to record with a fully charged battery?The thing is that I don´t want to spend the extra money if I don´t have to.

To the best of my knowledge (i.e. I looked at my tablet) that is on board memory - NOT the SD card. It's a great tablet, I really really like it and I really have had no problems so far (4 months in).

I tried a 16Gb, it lasts for a day or more and then the SD card crashes. Then wipe the card and use it again in something else.

I believe you are looking at the card that has spare batteries. I would suggest buying them because the device uses them quickly, and they are more expensive at a local store.

Varies according to how many pictures you are taking. I used it non stop at my grandson's birthday party and it lasted about 5 hours with non-stop picture taking (I took about 300 pictures). It will use a bit more juice for video clips (I took 10 clips average 15 seconds each). I highly recommend the 32 gb SD card...you will never have to worry about how many pictures you take and video clips you shoot. Battery recharges quickly (full reload in about 2 hours). I also purchased a couple of extra batteries I found on Amazon. I keep those charged and with the camera kit at all times.
