i'm from Argentina i'm about to buy a digital camera from www.amazon.com an panasonic fx12 silver, but i don't understand very much about this page, i don't know if the camera come with the battey include, or i have to buy apart the battery ?? does anybody know another page to buy digital camera??thks The Panasonic FX12 comes with an alkaline battery. However, it uses a proprietary rechargeable battery which may be costly instead of regular rechargeable AAs.
You may want to reconsider your purchase based on the availability of the Panasonic proprietary battery and opt for a digital camera which is double AA based. The following discussion may be helpful in that direction.
Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time - 300 shots per set of rechargeables;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com; $99 at amazon.com]
