FZ40 - What battery? Does the FZ40 use the exact same battery as the FZ35?

For reference: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1033&message=36769365 Just be aware that later Panasonic firmware updates often block the clone batteries from use. Videodirect.com in Fla. carries the Panasonic OEM brand chargers and accessories and often has them in stock before those in the Northeast.

I don't use video and the FZ35 forum isn't getting much attention, now that it is discontinued. Try searching through the discussions on this forum site. This question has been asked and answered several times. I think the same procedure applies to the FZ28, FZ35 and the FZ40 regarding Mac.

I use my batteries in a Pansonic DMC-TZ40 which I understand is the same as a ZS30. The TZ40 correctly shows the declining battery level and the indicator turns red just moments before the camera shuts itself off due to low battery.

Its the FZ200. Just got back from Safari and this camera is amazing. Great zoom, no loss of light and clarity. I am really impressed and happy with this camera.

Hi Capt Rick, I have this remote for the FZ50 in front of me now. I'm selling it with the remote. I'm sorry, I don't know about the FZ100 or the FZ35. The DMW-RS1 'may' go with the FZ35 since they have simular connections & same battery as the FZ50. But not sure. I'm looking at the FZ40 I recently purchased. I don't see any connection for the DMW-RS1. Just small USB like connections for HDMI & AV-out/digital. The batteries & connections are different for the FZ40. Many things are different on the FZ40. Improvements over my FZ28 I love. I like the FZ40 so far though. Video is terrific!

I currently own the FZ35, last week I received the FZ100 and within two days sent it back..yesterday, I received the FZ40 and have spend some time compairing the pictures side by side and I have to say the FZ40 is better..the pictures are more sharper and detail is very good. I enjoy the 3" screen and the video is excellent. Since I take mostly pictures of my dogs, this camera responds very well..Hope this helps

Panasonic's website lists the DMW-BMB9PP for the FZ60. You can verify that by visiting: shop.panasonic.com

It works great with my FZ-40 just like the battery that came with the camera. The battery level is shown.

I've never seen any reference to a BR40 battery. Is it perhaps a BX40? At any rate, the BR50 is only for the RAZR V3 model. The BX40 is for the RAZR2 V8, V9, etc. They do not appear to be compatible. I think the dimensions are different since the newer phones were slimmer. The BX40 is readily available on Amazon and other sources.

Good to know and good answer, Les. Clears it up. Still, I wonder why there is only one amazon review so far. I have the FZ28 and would upgrade w more positive comments -28 would go to girlfriend or son BTW [or backup (just in case)].Oct 20: Went to the girlfriend -got the FZ40. Very pleased.

Well it works with my fz150 150 so I suspect it would work with the FZ70 as well.

Don't know never owned either of the other two. I realy like the ZT0350 though.

I also had an FH20 - it broke - error message with lens not opening and price to fix vs new one was silly so just bought new one, SZ7. The battery for the SZ7 is thinner, so the old FH20 one will not fit in the camera. However, the other dimensions are the same, so I popped the SZ7 battery into the wall charger from my FH20, the green light went on and it charged. Now I am not a technical person or battery expert so I have no idea if this is in any way harming the battery, but it does fit in the charger, green light goes on and it charges.

I really can't tell the difference although I haven't "timed" them shooting video.I've spent several long days shooting many 100's of pics for findagrave.com. They would end up discharged after about the same "duty cycle" as the factory battery. They were about $5-6 ea. delivered when I purchased mine, so I bought 3. I could have gotten by with just 1 spare.

This battery is the same exact battery that works in both the ZS19 and ZS20. Both cameras are exactly the same except for the ZS20 having the GPS function that lets you know where the picture was taken.
