Q: QuestionDoes the camera comes with a battery? Or charger?

Asked 4 years ago by Shandy.

• A:Answer It comes with 1 battery but no separate charger as the camera body acts as the charger — there’s a mini-USB connector. I bought a charger with a back-up battery as the battery doesn’t seem to last long.
