No. And I have already experienced that as a disadvantage. I have two batteries and it would be good if I could charge one at a time when the other is in the camera.
I am also disappointed with the picture quality. I used to have the Fujifilm x20 which was better by far. Unfortunately it broke and I needed a replacement as soon as possible. A bad buy!
I didn't have any on at first and travelled around India with it. It went well without scratches. I then stuck a film on it as a prophylactic measure. I bought it on some website for protective films.
Hello Verena61, regarding your question: m.E. the TZ101 is only available with a flash on top. The TZ81, which is described in the same instruction manual, has a front flash. Ev. that is an explanation, otherwise please give me the place/website where you saw the front flash. I use the TZ101 and TZ81 in parallel. I think the image quality of the TZ101 is very good for a compact, I shoot with several interchangeable lens systems.
Hello, yes it is possible, the function is quite hidden in my opinion. Set the mode dial to M, the cursor cross at the top (exposure correction) is a step switch between aperture and time correction. This should make it possible to take a night shot with flash and a correctly exposed background. However, it also has a scene programme, No. 18, Night Portrait. You can try which one gives better results.
There are bags... you can choose width, height and length for the bag filters... ;)

I have had the camera since July 2016 and have not noticed any of this. The lens shutter blades are of course, as with most compact cameras, relatively thin and moveable. They are not that robust and pressure on them should be avoided. A real protective cover is missing for the lens (would certainly also get lost quickly). Basically, I would always take any camera to the beach only with a camera bag or in a zippered bag. Sand is poison for most electronic devices. I am satisfied with the camera from good to very good. Criticisms: It offers a lot of functions, which are sometimes not easy to handle, especially if you mistakenly trigger a function you didn't want to select. And the hand strap is too weak; it only consists of a thin plastic cord. I have to look for a replacement after 2 years.
I have exactly the same problem.
Every time I don't use the camera for a long time, the battery goes flat and can't be recharged.
A red light flashes as long as the charging cable is plugged in. But even after several hours, the battery cannot be charged.
I have already taken the camera to Digitec twice for repair. Both times it came back with a full battery and the comment that no problem could be detected. The battery had simply been used up...
Now I have the problem for the third time and hope that I can exchange the camera.
Since I only own one of the above-mentioned cameras, I recommend that you clarify the question by googling. There are some comparisons to the two cameras mentioned above. Just enter "DSC-RX100 Mark IV vs Panasonic DMC-TZ-101" (text without inverted commas) in the Google search and you will get various comparisons from photo magazines with detailed comparative tests.
Whether compact cameras are suitable for such purposes as model photos (with people) is another question? For indoor photos with difficult lighting conditions, SLR cameras with larger lenses (better light intensity) are better suited. At the same time, however, you still need photographic lamps or flashes for this so that the illumination is right.
