5.0 out of 5 stars Do your research., July 19, 2010

This review is from: Panasonic DMW-BCF10PP Battery for Select Lumix Cameras (Retail Packaging) (Electronics)

I, unlike many other people, did some research about which battery I should buy before I went and and bought it. This is the right battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20.

With that said, this battery is an authentic Panasonic battery. It is different than the battery the camera came with, as in it lasts longer than the original. If the number on your original battery is (CGA-S/106B), than this is the right battery for your camera. I do not suggest that you buy a 3rd party battery, I know the prices are convincing, but it's not worth it if the battery doesn't work, which is likely to happen. If you buy this battery than it will probably replace your original battery as your main battery and your original will become the backup since the DMW-BCF10PP lasts longer.

This battery is your best bet, even if 3rd party batteries did work.

5.0 out of 5 stars OEM BATTERY, September 12, 2009

This is an OEM battery, not a knockoff, and thus will work with any camera that was originally equipped with it. This battery is the same battery that you will have to pay at least 1/3 more for at the camera manufacturer's website. Buy it here and get the same battery for less money. Can't be beat. As a side note, Panasonic has an updated program for their cameras that can detect if a non-panasonic battery is being used in their cameras and will shut the camera down. I would imagine that all cameras that Panasonic now ships out will have some type of this programming. Use a knock-off if you want to try but don't be surprised if it doesn't work.
