5 out of 5 stars OEM BATTERY   September 12, 2009
gwb1943 (Ocean Springs, MS)

This is an OEM battery, not a knockoff, and thus will work with any camera that was originally equipped with it. This battery is the same battery that you will have to pay at least 1/3 more for at the camera manufacturer's website. Buy it here and get the same battery for less money. Can't be beat. As a side note, Panasonic has an updated program for their cameras that can detect if a non-panasonic battery is being used in their cameras and will shut the camera down. I would imagine that all cameras that Panasonic now ships out will have some type of this programming. Use a knock-off if you want to try but don't be surprised if it doesn't work.


5 out of 5 stars Do your research.   July 19, 2010

I, unlike many other people, did some research about which battery I should buy before I went and and bought it. This is the right battery for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20.

With that said, this battery is an authentic Panasonic battery. It is different than the battery the camera came with, as in it lasts longer than the original. If the number on your original battery is (CGA-S/106B), than this is the right battery for your camera. I do not suggest that you buy a 3rd party battery, I know the prices are convincing, but it's not worth it if the battery doesn't work, which is likely to happen. If you buy this battery than it will probably replace your original battery as your main battery and your original will become the backup since the DMW-BCF10PP lasts longer.

This battery is your best bet, even if 3rd party batteries did work.

5 out of 5 stars Bona Fide Panasonic DMW-BCF10 camera battery   April 18, 2010
Dr. John A. Hamel V (Kensington, MD USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is the real thing; a bona fide Panasonic brand camera battery. It is more expensive than the off-brand replacement batteries, but it should work seamlessly with all Panasonic cameras that use this model battery. I previously purchased a much cheaper off-brand battery, Maximal Power DB PAN DMW-BCF10 Secured Digital Camera Replacement Battery for Panasonic DMW-BCF10 (Black), but my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 14.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom with 2.7-Inch LCD (Yellow) displayed "THIS BATTERY CANNOT BE USED" message after 4 seconds or being turned "ON". Apparently, the Panasonic cameras will recognize off-brand batteries and will not accept them in an effort to protect us, the dumb consumers, from fires and explosions caused by off-brand batteries.

I am not happy that I have to pay a premium for this brand-name battery, but it seems to be the only battery that will work with my Panasonic camera (unless, of course, you hack the camera's firmware).



5 out of 5 stars Working as expected on my TS1   October 2, 2009

Same performance as the original one.
You need at least one if you are used to take a lot of picture.
May be I will take one more.
