You've paid a lot of money for your camera. Don't compromise on the batteries!Panasonic sell this battery (which, incidentally, fits the new Lumix G5 as well as the GH2) in their own online shop for around £61 including shipping. It's not surprising then that lots of Panasonic camera users fall for cheap lookalikes sold here and on auction websites, such as those by Maxsima costing a measly £12. I was one of them, until I discovered the dreaded weakness of those imitations - they show a full charge, but suddenly die without warning - just when you're about to take the picture of the day!I've certainly learned by my mistake. Okay, buy a nasty cheapy to use in the most dire of emergencies but,

Felt obliged to buy this battery rather than a third party brand because of the way Panasonic cameras are designed. They only display battery depletion levels when their own brand batteries are used. There have been many complaints about this because own brand batteries are generally much more expensive than third party ones. This one was on sale for a reasonable price so I bought two of them.I'm fairly satisfied with the number of shots I can get with the battery. I'd probably get more mileage from it if I didn't delete or edit my photos as I take them. A couple of points - the batteries don't seem to charge for the time stated in the camera manual although I've charged them in the supplied battery charger.

As a dinosaur who until recently was still using film in my Nikon. I am becoming sold on the benefits of digital, the one thing that has put me off going digital for so long is the annoying tendency for digital cameras to run out of power at the most inconvenient moment. Moral of the tale is to always carry a spare!! I suspect that the reason why the manufacturers don't supply their cameras with a spare batteries, is so they can sell you one at considerable additional expense. This battery is not cheap, but since I didn't want to risk using an inferior product - I wanted the genuine article. Amazon offered the most competitive price. It is a permanent fixture in my camera bag.

......... unless I'm totally losing the plot. I've seen a few negative reviews about the 'authenticity' of this battery but I cannot understand where they are coming from. I've inspected this battery (puchased from Camerabox, Kettering) from every angle, with a magnifying glass, no less, and I can see no difference whatsoever between it and the original which came with my G3. Also, the new battery charged up fine and fired up my G3 straight away, with no daft warning messages. If I've been duped, well, I don't know what to say. What I can say is that this battery works for me. And I see it's even cheaper than when I bought it last week! Almost tempted to buy another .......

I wanted a Panasonic brand spare battery for my new camera so was prepared to pay a little more. Well packaged and arrived within the advertised timeframe. The only thing not supplied (probably down to Panasonic rather than the supplier) is a plastic cap to cover the terminals - a requirement on aircraft and to stop them getting damaged in the camera bag. We could only put it back in the original box but the battery is a tight fit so I suspect it won't take many goes at taking the battery in and out for the box to split. We used the battery on a recent holiday and it seems to last as well and charge as quickly as the original battery supplied with the camera.

So many counterfeit batteries are floating around on on-line sites that it was with great trepidation that I placed my order and awaited delivery. I need not have worried. The supplier was Camera Box of Kettering; the battery arrived in genuine Panasonic packaging in two days from placing order. The price was also less than 1/3 of the panasonic list price. I charged it, fitted it into camera and it works perfectly. As I have the latest firmware on my Lumix G3 which detects non genuine batteries, this is clearly the genuine article. Very happy to recommend Camera Box of Kettering & I will use them again.

One of the criticisms of the Lumix G3 is that it is very heavy on batteries. Well I assumed the G5 would have the same problem so I bought two of these batteries just in case. However, I see the G5 manual asserts you can get 300+ pictures with the OEM battery and I'm finding that I'm getting very good battery life. Whatever, mindful of problems reviewers have had with knock-offs, I wanted to stick with OEM batteries so I went for these. I'm not sure how these can be the actual Lumix batteries but the price is great and the battery monitor works so no problems so far. Very pleased with the purchase.

This battery from this supplier is certainly the genuine article and worth the extra money you pay in comparison with alternative cheaper version.It comes in a box marked Panasonic and has all the true markings on the box with instructions too.Having just purchased a brand new Panasonic Lumix camera,I was worried about buying a spare battery from other site or sellers as some of the reviews were very unsettling,and I was NOT wanting to end up with a dud causing my genuine Panasonic camera to fail under warranty rules.So in conclusion,this is the genuine one.

Having read lots of reports of fake batteries I was supicious when ordering this product but couldn't find another that looked as if it could be the real thing.I charged this one and have used it over several charges and it appears to be ok. It is the same weight and size as the one that came with my FZ200 camera and has all the right markings apart from missing a Circle with PSE in it and the letters MBDB underneath that, both on the front of the battery. I cannot find a reason why it is not the geniune article.

i bought this battery, because it is a panasonic battery, to go with a lumix camera. it fits the camera it should. it does'nt need to be held in place by a piece of tape, which a friend of mine does, with a third party battery, for their camera. i have (so far) only bought genuine batteries for video/and camera equipment. but these panasonic batteries for DMC FZ28/GH2 don't hold a charge for long, and run down quick. i have 2 for each camera. my fuji finepix iv'e had 6 1/2 years and hardly ever charge it.

After reading lots of reviews I took a chance to buy this as a spare for my camera. While some people found that it didn't work in their camera, luckily I've not had that problem. It's an exact replica of my official Panasonic Lumix battery & works for the same amount of time as the original one does. The 'low battery' icon does come on screen also, I know some people have said that it doesn't tell them on their camera. I'm very happy with this purchase. :)

This battery is the same as the one supplied with my Panasonic FZ200 and it works in exactly the same way showing the amount of charge remaining in the display in the viewfinder and LCD screen. Seems to give the same number of shots as the original before it is empty.At this price I think it is worth getting the original. I have tried other compatible batteries and as well as not displaying the battery status correctly they frequently hold less charge.

I bought this for my Panasonic FZ200 my lovely wife just bought me for my birthday a week before we went on holiday.brilliant delivery on supersaver.being a genuine Panasonic battery it's the best quality possible and I have never swapped it yet,Taking over 400 pictures and short video in one day I am very pleased. The price was Amazing at £28 including delivery I don't think I'll be able to get another one at this price, Very highly recommended.

This item is the same as the original battery supplied with my camera and therefore works perfectly. I've tried non OEM batteries previously and have experienced problems, losing charge, not being recognised by the camera, inaccurate current ratings. In my opinion it's worth paying the extra for peace of mind. Shop around and you'll find them at reasonable prices. I've seen these advertised at over twice the price I paid through Amazon.

I highly recommend this is you have a G3, as the camera (whilst being fantastic in all other regards) is not famed for its battery life.I bought this after a lack of battery prevented me from taking some great photos in the second half of a trip out, and I now feel smug every time I run out of battery and get to go "oh wait!" and pull out this spare. Have never been bothered by a lack of power since - can easily shoot all day now.
