 Rating:  - A Must for Sony Camcorders.There is surely nothing worse than running out of power when you are out for the day with your camcorder(except for running out of tape/memory),so as a back up I ordered this Sony battery.I did not dare to risk buying an equivalent from another manufacturer,as Sony camcorders can recognise the make of battery by a chip inside.This is of course to force you to buy expensive Sony products,good for Sony but bad for the customer.This battery is genuine Sony,it is identical to the original battery as fitted in my TG-3 camcorder and it works perfectly.When I go out now I always carry the spare battery and a memory card,so I am never caught short. Rating:  - Sony have nobbled the info-lithium chip to ensure you buy this geniune Sony batteryJust bought a Sony HC53E Camcorder. Very annoyingly my old, identical looking, same 7.2v, Sony NP-FP Camcorder batteries from my previous defunct model [Sony HC22E] don't fit this new HC53E camcorder though, thanks to a few mm more plastic on the base lugs and Sony's new [anti-copying] info-lithium chip. Trim the old NP-FPs to fit in the HC-53Es NP-FH slot and the camera says 'incompatible battery' - i.e. it's got an old style info-chip, even though it is a Sony battery of the right shape, voltage and power. So I had to buy one of these `genuine' Sony NP-FH50 as a spare battery [it's the same physical size as the NP-FH30 supplied with the camera, but with a tad more power reserve]. Sony have nobbled the new HC-53E camcorder so that cheaper generic ones can't work without a naff patch cable and thus can't provide the very useful 'time and % battery charge left' graphical info on-screen. This anti-piracy mod isn't to stop others manufacturing batteries and passing them as off as counterfeit Sony's [the 'generic' were always branded], it's simply trying to force you to buy the rather overpriced Sony batteries that can cost over half the price of the entire camcorder. That said I got this Sony NP-FH50 for around £30 from Amazon resellers, which wasn't bad value [although my complete Sony Camcorder + NP-FH30 battery was only £120 from Amazon]. You can recharge these Sony NP-FH50 batteries in the camera, but I bought a £15 generic mains/12v car charger combo, so that I can recharge one battery while filming with another. Rating: - Exactly what I wanted for a decent price and a Sony original. Fact: I have tried 'compatible' batteries from Amazon Market Place. For me they did not work and were returned. This Sony original was my last hope. Since I have first used it I have not had one seconds problem. For me the compatible route was a mistake as, for me, they discharged far too quickly and did not give me notice of their demise - they just ran out. This Sony original (as a back up for the original I have) works great. By all means give the compatibles a go, if it works stick with them. I have spent as much money trying 3 compatibles - I should have just purchased this from the start. I will not make the same mistake again - I will go the original route from the off.
