Sony vs 3rd Party

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Sony batteries for Sony cameras are the best. I have two 3rd party batteries and they just don’t do the job. Sony batteries last and provide the longest life. Highly recommend.

Comes with zero charge (dead)

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Showed up the day after I needed it. Was 100% dead . Past ones had a little charge . Only got it to charge up to about 80% . Have not tested to see how long it will last as it showed up after my shoot date a day late. Only positive was it was packed quite a bit more than past ones I purchased from other sellers. Only 2 stars one for packing and one for it finally got a little charge.

I wanted to get the same battery my camera came with and finding the same was amazing. It works well and holds the charge

Sony NP-FW50 Lithium battery is the only battery that actually fits my Sony camera!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I purchased these Sony brand NP-FW50 Lithium Ion batteries for my Sony DSC-10 (3) through Amazon at a better than local retail prices. These Sony batteries actually fit and lock into the battery compartment. I've recently purchased Kastar, Arche, and Bonacell NP-FW50 batteries (not through Amazon) and none of these batteries fit. They're all 2-3 mm too long to fit securely in the battery compartment so the camera wouldn't operate. Some of these same non-Sony brand batteries are also offered through Amazon and the price is attractive. Buyer Beware! Very pleased with the Sony brand batteries.

Came on time, and give u at least 2 hours and a half with 4k 30fps recording ...it's ok to me as 4k is just a really demanding format

Correct battery for RX10-IV (DSC-RX10M4)

This is the battery used in the Sony RX10-IV, which is the camera I have. It works well. The "InfoLithium" feature communicates the state of charge with the camera, which can then display it.

After extended usage, it seems to be OK!

9/23/12, revised from 1- to 4-star rating (should probably be only 3.5 to be nitpicking about it). From somewhere in Europe. I have now used both (original that came with the NEX-7 and the one from Amazon marketplace. I started out with using the Amazon unit. After like half the afternoon, the battery went kaput! I switched in the other one, and it seemed to fair much better, tho at the end of the day, it'd still be (almost) run. However, on using the original equipment unit, I paid much closer attention to usage, etc. I then noticed somehow that "perhaps" with the camera bouncing in my lap (hung from shoulder), I seemed to notice the LED display screen was on much more of the time. I then started to hold it, with it facing down, and it seemed to fare much better. Just a coincidence perhaps. Perhaps because of the bouncing, somehow the eye-level viewfinder was activated???? causing the drainage???? I did the same with the Amazon unit, and it seemed to do much, much better, tho not quite as close to that of the original, but perhaps both acceptable.

Then, I started to notice that somehow it was in I think "VIDEO" mode, and a running clock was on display . I had to shut off the camera, turn it back on, the check I think the shooting mode, and got it back to SINGLE SHOT mode. I was clueless how that got triggered. It happened on this Europe swing (so far a week now) about 4 times now. I will have to talk to Sony, see what triggered it. I am clueless as to how it came about. PERHAPS that's why the battery got drained?????? I'm sure I will even update this mystery later. All digital point-and-shooters are power-hungry because of the LED screen, etc. So, one'd better have a backup for a full-day shooting session. I'd like to have a battery that would last me like 8 hrs. a day, but.... this ain't the case. Considering the situation, I revised the star rating as such.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Early Sept., 2-12. The more I researched, I decided on a genuine Sony battery for my new NEX-7. So I purchased 1 thru Amazon, of course. It looked good, except that I noticed the label at the back is not quite 100% as the one that came with the camera, slightly different. Anyhow, I am in Europe now, really field-testing both units. Last couple of days, I would start out with both batteries fully charged up. Each time, both batteries ran out on me after 2-3 hours on the street. It was never that I shot continuously. I'd shoot a few shots, then walk, then a few more. The screen would just go out after a little while. I checked, there's a 10 second after-shot review delay before it'd go out.... Mostly I walked around with it without turning it off; and, because it's a new toy, I was playing around with the menu setting here and there, playing with Scene/Mode/Aperture/Speed etc. Just today (9/14), I went on THE Royal Way around Warsaw, the best part of town. 4-5 hours later I think, one expired about 2 hrs. later, so I put the other in; 3-4 (altogether) hrs. later I think, both were dead. I would say for the last 2 outings, I couldn't have shot more than 30-40 shots total each day/time, with only a couple using the HDR mode (if that matters much at all), other than those, they're just point-and-shoot situations. Am I not using the battery correctly? Or is the NEX-7 really drains that badly? Anyone care to comment (on how to be scroogey and save juice), I'd appreciate. Otherwise, on a single day's outing, I'd need at least 3 batteries. That's RIDICULOUS I'd say. Since the new one purchased here from Amazon gives me similar usage, I wonder if it would warrant sending it back. I will pay closer attention in the next couple of days about usage, to see how bad it really is before deciding.

Buy the name brand

These batteries are definitely worth the price. Skip the non-brand alternatives and use these. They will hold a charge far longer than anything you can buy.

Battery works great. Thanks!

The Sony batteries seem to be the best ones for my camera. I've tried off brand ones but they don't seem to last as long. Still, I wasn't sure what to expect from this Sony battery because it was used. It works great and has the longevity of a new one at half the cost. Thank you!

Better than knockoffs, but make sure it charges

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

These genuine Sony batteries are worth the extra cost as they last much longer than the cheap knockoffs in my experience. If you are packing for a trip and trying to lighten your load, knowing you can take 2 of these and get the same life as 4-5 others is good to know. Plus, they're reliable longer term.

That said, I did receive one and it refused to charge - both in my genuine sony wall charger as well as a knock-off USB.

It seems the issue could be that some of these may come so completely drained they won't come to life enough to accept a charge. The instructions even note that it could take a few tries. Well, 10 tries and I ended up returning it. The replacement worked perfectly.

May be a fluke, and it's possible it was fine if it could just get a minimal base charge. (I was tempted to try, but didn't really have time to mess with it, plus, the replacement came in a day.)

Otherwise I will say I'm happy with the two of these I have compared to the knock-offs. These really are better and longer lasting.

worth buying brand

When you buy a camera, in my case the Sony ZV E-10, you automatically get a camera. It is nice to have two batteries when one dies, you can charge the other one. I try to rotate batteries. When one is low, I charge it to 100%, and then swap to the other fully charge battery until that one dies and repeat.
