See my review here. This is a perfect replacement for the Sony battery. I have the HX9V which is nearly identical to the 5V, and it fits perfectly. It is EVER so slightly more snug in the charger than the original, but not noticeable at all in the camera. Battery life is longer than my original Sony battery, and unlike the original battery, it gives remaining battery life in minutes. I don't have my gear with me, but I believe the estimated time for photos is around 300+ minutes, which has seemed pretty accurate, though I haven't tested it. At this price, I HIGHLY recommend this product, and it's very well-made. I will certainly be ordering a few more for backup on long trips.

Sony makes a powerful long-lasting battery for this camera, the NP-FV100. It's the biggest they make for this camera and it is all I use and has plenty of storage and long charge life before needing to be recharged. It costs a bit, but is well worth it. I bought other batteries for this camera but the big one is all you need.

Sorry I've taken so long. We've been busy. On a trip to Machu Picchu, we took pics all day long and our battery held up well, only using about a half of it's life. I hope this helps. We bought a second battery so when we needed to, we could replace the other. I must say, I took 3 short videos in a row and the battery went way down. But just taking pics didn't seem to phase it much at all.

Great! We have used the camera for over 100 pictures over a few hours all in one charge. I usually charge it after an event just out of habit, but so far the battery has not been dead to need it. I bought an extra battery but have not used it. Hope this helps.

By low self discharge NiMH batteries, you mean disposable? I really know nothing about any of this battery stuff, besides the regular energizers I buy at Target or wherever. Thanks for all the info. I just ordered the camera (made in Japan)last week and should be getting it soon, I want to have the right batteries for it.

The battery life has been good for me. I bought the camera right before vacation and took many pictures over the course of a week. I believe I recharged the battery daily but the battery never died. I just wanted a full battery for each day since I was taking so many pictures. However, I've only used the camera sporadically since so I'm not sure how the battery life would be now if I was using it as much as I was when I first bought it.

No idea. I have HF10 which was damaged by this 4.5 hr battery. I thought I got a bargain but upon the first continuous shooting, my camcorder lost its interaction capabilities with my computer. If you value your camcorder, you may want to buy Canon genuine batteries.

I've used it when fully charged but never run it down completely. I have the Sony CX230 Handycam, which shows full charge for recording at 6 hrs 50 mins, that's a lot of recording time. The size and weight actually makes the camera feel more substantial. It's comfortable to hold and adds some balance when zooming in, not heavy or bulky. I use this battery as my main battery and keep the original FV30 as backup, which I haven't needed so far.The longest nonstop recording I've made so far is 30 mins, the battery still held almost 6 hours for recording. Playback obviously shows a different battery life, but it was still over 5 hours with the one charge.Hope this helps. I've used it when fully charged but never run it down completely.

Hi Robin, I do not have that answer. It has been charged and holding the charge but not much time on camera usage.

It is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, I do not know the model number off hand but you can buy extras/replacements here on amazon starting at $5. The camera comes with a charger, battery and wrist-strap. You will have to buy a memory card separate.

I frankly don't remember, it was for a fellow employee. But I did recently purchase a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD in Silver + 8GB SDHC + Sony Case + Card Reader + Replacement Battery + Accessory Kit for $128 for everything here on Amazon. We were very impressed with everything plus it saved ordering everything separately. Compare the two cameras and see if it measures up. I'm sorry I couldn't help with your question. Have a great day :)

No problem with them. They are a lot better than the original battery that came with my Sony camcorder. Holds a charge longer and also chargers faster. Hope this help's you.

When I oreder mine it was new and worked just fine. It's the Sony batteries you have to worry about. Only genuine Sony batteries seem to work in their camera.

So far, the battery has held a pretty good charge. I get about 150 pics if I use a lot of the special filters and zoom continuously. If I just take regular pics using just the zoom and no filters, I get about 200. It also holds a charge for a few days if you don't use the camera and have it turned off. That's what I usually get with any Fuji camera, whether they use a propriatary battery or AA batteries. I bought a second battery from Amazon, and keep both charged. It's a pretty spectacular little camera. I've used other pocket compacts and none of them even come close to this little guy in picture quality and features.
