Generic battery: Can any of the ones sold on Amazon damage my camera?

I bought my backup battery on Duracelldirect.com. I have NEVER had a problem with it, nor can I tell any difference from my NIKON battery. It was priced right and it had a warranty. Completely satisfied.

Yes, this is the same battery as described on Canon's web site, but at a cheaper cost. That is why I purchased this on Amazon web site. It is the same battery.

In theory, yes. However, the generic battery has to be of the same type (Li-ion) and capacity as the original Sony battery. Many Li-ion batteries include a little microchip in them to determine the "health" and charge state of the battery. A generic manufacture may not include this which will cause problems and possibly damage to itself, the charger or the camera. So you have to be sure the generic meets the original manufacture's specification. When in doubt use original batteries only.

I use these exact batteries with my Canon Poweshot S3 IS. Never had a problem in close to a year's time. Since my (and your) camera take "regular" AAs, these say they can be used in place of "regulars". I actually bought these specifically for the camera, but now use them for all kinds of things.

I have the same camera and this battery works just fine. You can also use plain old AA batteries in it but just don't try to charge them. This battery pack is made up of two AA rechargeable batteries.

The one I bought from AZsales was a great reproduction of an actual retail version. But at the end it wasn't legit and my camera wouldn't accept the battery. It may be branded a Sony but isn't made by Sony. Beware!

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.

My guess is no. It looked legit as it had the same markings as the battery I was replacing, but it didn't fit into the camera.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have a security camera system at my farm and this type of battery goes in it. It was dying so I finally found the identical battery on Amazon to replace the dying one.

Clones, not counterfeits. It's just like when other companies besides IBM started making PCs. They do the same thing as the originals and have the same specs. My wife uses them in her camera. We just came back from a week's vacation, and the battery worked flawlessly.

If you can find a 5900mAh rated battery, it would be better. the higher the number, the longer it will run on a charge. When you buy any of these generic batteries, try to make sure you can see an accurate picture of the side of battery that has the battery info and make sure it's in the item description so when you buy it, and it turns out you get jipped, you can throw that in the sellers face. Too many sellers have descriptions with their items that are not what they say they are.

You have to look at the kind of battery it is. I made that mistake and ended up wasting $70 on a charger that wasn't for my camera.

The one I received was not a real Canon Brand battery. It looked like one but the packaging did not contain the authentic Canon hologram. The backside to the battery was different and also felt heavier. I was able to return mine and Amazon refunded me the money. Though the battery looks the same, ones that aren't authentic Canon brand batteries can actually damage your camera. Beware!

I tried the battery with my HX20V and it consistently takes around 4 pictures and then stops and a message comes on the screen that tells me the battery is not an authorized Sony product. It stops me from going further and I can only shut off the camera and replace the battery or turn it on again and take another 4 pictures. That's what you get for a $5.00 battery when the real ones are $35 or more. Don't buy the cheap substitute. Get a real Sony battery.

I bought this battery from Amazon in January 2013 and it worked well for several months. It appeared to be genuine Nikon, but I wonder about that since about a month ago the battery case swelled in thickness and I almost could not remove it for the camera (P-510). Of course now it is beyond the Amazon return period, so I'll just have to buy a new one. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with this battery?

Contact the manufacturer regarding your specific brand of battery.... they're very helpful reputable people.

Do not know if the battery is the correct model for your camera. If you have a model # it will be easier to find out.
