1.0 out of 5 stars Poor performance, questionable value, November 30, 2007

This review is from: Lenmar DLP007 Digital Camera Equivalent to the Panasonic CGA-S007A Battery (Electronics)

I tested this item vs. the original Panasonic CGA-S007A battery, and the Lenmar performance wasn't even close!

After conditioning each battery, I counted how many flash pictures I could take (waiting 2 minutes between shots) before my camera indicated a low battery condition. As I will use my DMC-TZ3 camera's flash in museums a lot, this is a fair approximation of real life (for me at least).

The Panasonic battery lasted for 87 shots, the Lenmar only 40! It certainly appears that the Panasonic, even at twice the price, would be a better value for the dollar. After more research, I lucked out and found the Panasonic battery for only $5 more than the Lenmar.

If the purchase price is the only factor, perhaps this is an OK value. My camera does work fine with the Lenmar battery-just not as long. At a low enough price point, this may be a pretty decent spare battery (if you don't plan to use it except in "emergencies").

As a primary, everyday battery, I don't recommend it. Use the Panasonic battery and get the intended performance out of your expensive camera.

I bought the LenMar battery as a replacement for a Panasonic TZ3 camera. The battery worked perfectly right out of the box and works perfectly with the charger that comes with the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works just as well as panasonic battery, but costs a lot less, August 3, 2007

I just got back from a trip using my TZ3 for a couple of weeks with this battery. The Lenmar worked every bit as well as the panasonic battery that came with the camera, fit the camera and battery charger perfectly, and cost less than half of what a Panasonic battery costs.
