1.0 out of 5 stars Not retaining the charge, April 10, 2007

By	P. Kaganis (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This battery is supposed to charge to about 180 minutes. In July of 2006, my camera's original battery would not charge past 90 minutes so I bought this product and it charged to about 180 minutes. By January, the replacement battery would not charge more than 35 minutes which made it worse than my original battery that I used for 4 years! Amazon warrantied this battery for 1 year so I was able to get another replacement in March and have used it for one month so far. The charge has already dwindled to 160 minutes and am keeping an eye on it. I read somewhere that Sony may have rigged these batteries to last for only a certain time and if these batteries were manufactured at the same time, then that would explain why they're all dying so quickly. I'm not happy about this situation and I'm not ready to replace my camera just yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent battery life even in cold weather, December 1, 2004

By	J. Halladay "outdoor enthusiast" (Los Alamos, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the battery I compare all other digital camera batteries to. I've owned many digital cameras from Nikon, Konica Minolta and Sony and the Sony NP-FM50 lasts the longest. I used this battery in my F707 on a climb of Denali in Alaska. At the 20,320 summit on a chilly evening my digital camera was the only one that still functioned out of three in our group thanks to the Sony NP-FM50! I own two batteries for my F707 but even on week-long backpacking trips I really only use one battery and I use the LCD on the camera for all pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Battery Concept, November 1, 2004

By	Richard R. Carlton (Ada, MI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is Sony's workhorse battery. It is not cheap but it recharges very quickly and I've got one I've had in use for 4 years now and it still charges up 110 min of power.
