Sony - Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack for Sony NP-BN1

All of my point and shoot cameras in the past have used AA batteries, so I've developed a fairly good size stock of rechargables, as well as my Duracell 15 min charger. When I bought my new camera I ended up getting one that uses Li-ion batteries, and wasn't sure how I would like them. I feel I can't quite stock up due to the price, but the battery length seems okay. I wish they charged a bit faster though, I was spoiled by my 15 min AA battery charger. They don't seem to die quickly though, which is good, because when I take pictures, I tend to take a lot. I do however like that my camera is thinner now, with the li-ion battery than my old AA battery camera.

Price for camera was too high, only had for about a year, and battery goes dead. Battery cost about 1/3 of camera price $60... waaay too expensive for a camera. You'd think that accessories would entice consumers to their products, and not drive them away. Been a Sony owner for many years, and now am looking for alternatives. Not only due to this issue, but adaptability issues with mainstream devices (don't get me started on the memory stick...).

My husband & I bought our Sony underwater camera last year to snorkel with on our honeymoon. We realized that we needed an extra battery to take more HD video. So, we bought this extra battery. We are glad we did! It stays charged until you are ready to use it & charges quickly. It also has a long battery life. I took 30 mins of video & about 120 pics or so at my sister's wedding recently & I still had battery life afterward.

I wanted a case for my new phone and wanted it to be bright so I could find it. I am happy with the color and the material, which is both easy to grip and probably easy to clean. The only thing I would have preferred was more option (colors, prints) in this particular style of cover. This was actually the only color available. It is not my first choice, but one I definitely like

I am reluctant to say that I treated my previous Sony camera extremely rough. Dropping any number of times and having it in my pocket where it had too much pressure applied to the view screen. This new camera has so much more on it that in some ways. I really like the fact that you don't have to charge the battery in the camera like my old camera did. So I got an extra battery and charger and memory.

I purchased this as a back-up battery for my Sony Cyber-Shot camera. I was going on vacation with my family, and wanted to be sure I had enough power to take all the photos I wanted. This Sony battery lived up to my expectations by providing long lasting power. Having the spare battery gives you the peace of mind that you won't miss a shot. Its easy to change out the battery, and you are good to go.

I bought battery as second battery for my Sony Cybershot compact camera when I was vacationing in South Africa and wanted to make sure I always had a camera battery. I switched batteries each day and charged one battery at night. Usually each battery lasted a whole day, but a couple of times I had to switch batteries late in the day.

One time we ordered a similar product off the internet and got ripped off because it appeared after we received it to be a knock off (fake). This time we went with a brand name from Best Buy to avoid that happening again. It's bad enough to pay retail prices for real products but to pay less than retail and get a bad product is worse.
