Summary: POOR LIFE....NOT RECOMMENDED

Comment: Bought 2 of these fron ADORAMA and I am not happy. I get about 50 shots w/ my Panasonic TZ5 camera and the battery is DEAD. My OE battery is good for 300-400 shots.

Summary: Siempre hay que tener 2 baterías

Comment:
Les recomiendo que siempre tengan 2 baterías, la original con la que viene la cámara, en mi caso la Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K, y otra de reemplazo para que nunca se pierdan ningún momento por tener la batería descargada. Carga perfectamente en el cargador original de la cámara y su precio es muy muy bajo... comparen y verán.

Summary: Don't waste your money.

Comment: I didn't notice until we went on vacation what a difference there is between this battery and the real Panasonic battery! This battery cannot last for a normal vacation day of pictures! Fortunately, I brought the Panasonic battery along on that first day out and could go back to the car and change batteries! From then on I made sure to only use this battery at night while I was charging up the Panasonic battery for the next days shooting!

Don't depend on this battery! It will let you down!

Summary: doesnt hold charge

Comment: this is a product that holds true to the statement " you get what you pay for" it doesn't come close to the performance on the factory battery. it is good only as a back up, but not as the primary battery. if you want the performance equal to a factory unit buy a factory unit. if your primary runs out and you only need a few more pictures this is fine.

Summary: Works great

Comment: I've found this to be a very solid battery. I use my TZ5 at concerts (when they'll let me) and when I don't want to carry around my SLR. I take lots of pictures at concerts -- I use it as a true P&S, meaning I take tons of pictures without thinking about them and sort out the good ones later. I have 2 of these and 1 genuine Panasonic battery. I can't tell a significant difference. At concerts, I turn the flash off, and I can take literally hundreds of pictures on one battery with no problem.
