Are we allowed to say competitor websites? (I honestly don't know) E-bay was a good place to get memory sticks at a cheaper price. Scan for a while and you'll find some good deals. I recently bought two 8 GB Memory Stick Duo Pros via the Buy it Now option - one was $25 and the other was $28.95 (each had free shipping and were new in package). As for the battery, I know of only the one battery, but maybe someone else knows of another?Hope this helps!

I have used the Sanyo Pre-charged Eneloop; they are terrific, reasonably priced and last forever. I use them in everything now. This camera really does call for this type of battery.

I finally was able to find an authorized battery through Vann's. Great site, great customer service. Mine was backordered, but it came in a few weeks and has been working fine. It looks exactly like the battery that came with the camera. http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/features/752883080/panasonic-dmw-bcg10?s_c=site_search

If you are anxious to get the HV20, check out B&H; Photo (bhphoto.com). I was surprised to see it, but they claim to have them in stock NOW.

It might be delayed due to the tsunami and the earthquake in Japan I think. I do hope it comes out on 5-1-11 because I would like to purchase for a trip to Tennessee on 5-14-11. It looks to me like the best camera out now that Sony allows you to use SDHC cards in their cameras. I didn't buy the hx-1 for that reason that the hx-1 only used memory sticks.

I bought this battery for my DSC-HX20v, but it did not work properly or did not work at all, I can't remember. I ended up buying the "real thing" from Sony and it works fine. I love the camera by the way.

Yes! All battery brands does not last for more than about five mitutes. I´ve tryied DURACELL, ENERGIZER, SONY AND PANASONIC AA rechargeable batteries. The camera only works properly with the optional SONY AC adapter. It seems to be a common problem with old Sony H5 models (just search in internet and see lots of people with the same problem).

I also have a Canon xsi. I have purchased this battery in the past. It has worked quite well for me! I plan on buying two more for back up soon. With the higher 2000mAh they should hold a charge longer while being used. Wishing you good shooting and Great captures! Dan

Get on the website and go to Amazon.com and type in CB 511 batteries and they should have a replacement for that camera if not probably the same battery but update like mine were. mine were 10 years old battery. the mAh was greater and better on the new ones. I don't know how old your batteries are but if there five years older or more there going to have newer and better batteries form today like mine. I bought two of them and so far I've only use one. they last a long time. I love them

You know I went on vacation early November to PR and I have to say I survived ALL DAY on one battery. But, I don't use flash, and I don't chimp. I just shot jpg+raw, with a few short videos, under a minute. I would only charge the battery back at the hotel overnight. I was there three days, and returned with about 1300 images. No problems running out of juice.If I were to get another battery I would swap them out each charge. I would not let either the original battery, or the replacement sitting idle. I would run one down, then swap it out, let the worn battery charge...

YEAH,..TRUE dat,.... like ay other "High-end" name brand,just buying a part such as amere batery w/ the smae "NAME-stamp" on it COSTS BIG bucks,.....BUT you probably can find the EXACT SAME battery for it elsewhere for a OT CHEAPER,..such as RADIO SHACK, who has ALL battery types for EVERYTHING! (I but all my lithium batteries for my cameras, and cordless phones there.~JAI

I have used many Sanyo eneloop AA cells in my old Canon S1, new Canon S5, Canon 420EX flash unit, etc. I believe low-self-discharge batteries are idealy suited for digital cameras, especially for intermittent shooting. There are people who claim that ordinary NiMH cells are better because those are rated 2700mAh instead of 2000mAh. But I never have the need to shoot 500 pictures in one day. Plus I keep one set of spare batteries in the camera bag anyway. Ordinary NiMH cells self-discharge so fast, you always have to recharge the batteries just before shooting. Plus there is no point in keeping a spare set because it would become exhausted by the time you need it.

Double A batteries - replace as often as you need to. Couldn't get much better than that - available anywhere. It's always a drag to have a proprietary rechargeable battery, so I'm really glad Sony allowed us the freedom of AA. And a slot for expandable memory!

Dear Gerald: I've got the same message error, and I Just Don't know what can I Do about It. I Have a Sony DSC HX20V and works perfectly with my old batteries. If you have some Info, I appreciate that you could share it to me.

thank you for your feedback. I am using the cx100 a lot these days, just bought the 8gb memory stick recommended in the owners manual and works great as well. Also per manual, you have to tell the cam to work off the internal vs stick memory.Nice to know we can get info hits 10 weeks later that are emailed to us.--LarryOC

The extras I ordered were specifically labeled Sony and this looks like that same one. I did order one used that had a "buy one get one free". One was a Sony battery the other was a no-name which I threw away (not sure if any of this helps).

I am using an HDX-AX2000 camera with Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo, HX 32 GB. Works fine although the camera says that it may not read or write correctly. Sony manual says the camera has been tested with this chip. However, buy from a reputable dealer, I had two faulty chips from a Chinese group. I test the chips before use with a program that writes and reads from every location in the chip. Takes 1.5 hours to complete!
