Anyone know if these work for ZS7 with new firmware version 1.1? Since the new firmware update(1.1) for the ZS7 came out in June I haven't found anyone who knows if this kit or the Power2000 batteries work with the new upgrade for the Lumix ZS7? If anyone has downloaded version 1.1 and has these batteries please let us know. Anyone know if these work for ZS7 with new firmware version 1.1?

I have a ZS-7 with firmware version 1.0 and the batteries DO NOT work. However, Because of the answer you got on here I am installing firmware version 1.1 and I will report back to tell you if they do work once I upgrade. I am not too happy right now...

I bought Panasonic DMW-BCK7 Lithium-Ion Battery as it was listed compatible with my camera Panasonic DMC-FH25. I am not certain if whether or not it will work with the DMC SZ1 camera. Your best course of action, that I can recommend, would be to contact the seller and confirm compatibility. If this is an urgently needed item, then you could also do a search on google and find out. Hope this helps!

I used both firmwares 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and they work fine on both. There was not a change in performance to either firmwares that we noticed during use. During our last event, my buddy was using the 6D with the 1.1.2 and I was using another with the 1.1.3, using the STK batteries - we both basically had to change batteries close to the same time.

Hi,As far as I know they never set the Zi12 in full production. This listing is legit however, the product exists, so someone probably got hold of the few(?) ones that were actually made. If you buy it (like I did) there will be no support from Kodak or firmware updates etc. The camera in itself is wonderful and works perfectly though!

I own the A7ii and they work great. I bought 4 of them and they seem to work just the same as the Sony battery. As far as working the same on the A7S I would imagine they do.

I don't know. I have Zs20 and they work great, even longer life than the original Panasonic battery that comes with the camera.

yes batteries work great in my lumix and i like to carrier extra batteries with me. i took my camera home to oregon from texas, and i needed to charge them up while at thebeach, just plug the charger into outlet in car and it worked great. have had no trouble at all with them, and yes i would buy them again if i needed them. i have had these for about7 months now.

Hi there, I'm just confirming what John said. I ordered this for a Panasonic ZS35 which, per Panasonic, uses the same battery (part #: DMW-BCM13). This charger and battery set has worked well for me. I do notice, however, that when these two batteries start to get low, the camera can misbehave a bit. For example, the lens won't zoom correctly, or the camera is slow to respond to changes in the settings. All of this resolves when a fully charged battery is installed. These batteries also may last for a tiny bit less time in the camera versus the OEM battery, but not enough to concern me. Hope this helps! Hi there, I'm just confirming what John said.

nonsense, what firmware version has to do with a battery replacement kit? mine is working very well with the latest version...

I updated my 6D's firmware to 1.1.3 and am using this STK battery with their charger and it seems to work perfectly. No error messages, long battery life, no worries.

I have firmware version 1.1.3 and, as I remember, I didn't get any error messages from my 6D, but the battery was just so unreliable (would suddenly lose all charge) that I gave up with it after a few weeks and it has sat in a drawer ever since.

My camera came with firmware 1.5...I think that is the firmware than prevents the G1 from using third party batteries.

I don't know personally I have a Z33, but I won't recommend these batteries to ANYONE!!! They have no lasting power, they seem to be repacks of generic batteries, the original batteries from fuji gave me over 200 pictures on one battery charge these are lucky if I get 80 or maybe 90 if I am really lucky, DON't wast your money, I bought 2 and am so sorry I did. Hope it helps, I just wish I could find the real thing once again, i miss the real batteries from FUJI

No, the batteries are not the same. The new battery is the ID/security battery with a microchip to prevent any aftermarket/generic battery from being used. The only batteries that will be guaranteed to work in the FZ40/100 will be the Panasonic OEM. The generic companies may be able to beat the system temporarily, but camera updates will make them inoperable. Study the issues with the original LX-3 battery. Same story, high price, limited availability.

I purchased four of these batteries about two months ago. I am currently using 1.1.3 but was previously using 1.1.2. I primarily use them in a genuine Canon battery grip. In all cases the camera sees them as a standard LP-E6 and I haven't had any issues with them. However, it is my understanding that newer Canon chargers may not charge them or not charge them correctly.
