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.

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.

This battery is 1/2 the price of a Panasonic battery. It fits nicely into my Lumix camera, but it has about 2/3 the energy, i.e. pictures before recharging, than the original. I think it is a good value as a backup.

I bought this Lenmar battery as a backup for my Panasonic TZ5 camera. Not much to say (it's just a battery, after all!) other than:

1. It fits the TZ5 and works great;

2. The Panasonic charger that came with the TZ5 can recharge this battery;

3. It costs 1/4 of a genuine Panasonic battery and comes with a 3-year warranty;

4. The charge seems to last a good long while (sorry, I know it's subjective, but I haven't done any timed tests).

Highly recommended!

this is a product that holds true to the statement " you get what you pay for" it doesn't come close to the performance on the factory battery. it is good only as a back up, but not as the primary battery. if you want the performance equal to a factory unit buy a factory unit. if your primary runs out and you only need a few more pictures this is fine.

I bought this battery for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K. The battery works perfectly with both the camera and the charger. And for only $7 dollars it was a great buy. I would definitely recommend it.

I've found this to be a very solid battery. I use my TZ5 at concerts (when they'll let me) and when I don't want to carry around my SLR. I take lots of pictures at concerts -- I use it as a true P&S, meaning I take tons of pictures without thinking about them and sort out the good ones later. I have 2 of these and 1 genuine Panasonic battery. I can't tell a significant difference. At concerts, I turn the flash off, and I can take literally hundreds of pictures on one battery with no problem.

Good battery. Does not last as long as the original but works as a good bck-up.

The price is right, the product works but the battery does not hold a charge for very long. I find I use it only as long as it takes to recharge my Panasonic battery. Still, it is very useful that way.
