Sony NP-FW50 Lithium-Ion 1020mAh Rechargeable Battery

Great battery, holds a change.

very nice and works great

New Manufacture's Battery works great!

Factory battery. More expensive than the knock-offs, but I'm willing to pay more for the factory battery for a high dollar camera. No need to worry about failure with the original and consistent charge time and charge off time.

Lots of concern here as to wether or not this is a genuine product. I ordered to have as a backup during a 10-day vacation, received the item and immediately began scrutinizing it. The battery, packaging removed, weighs exactly the same as the battery that came with my Sony A6000. It's stickers are placed in the same locations on the battery, in the same orientation. Put it in my camera and it powered right up, showing a partial charge. Let the camera charge with this battery while I was out to dinner and returned to a battery showing 100% charge. It's now in my standard rotation as a second battery pack, at this point I've lost track which is the one I bought with the camera and which is the backup bought from Amazon. For those of you concerned about receiving a genuine product, I can confirm that my battery ***SHIPPED AND SOLD BY AMAZON*** was a genuine product that functions just as well as the battery that was shipped with my A6000.

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.

Worked great in my sony camera.

The great mystery is why anyone would conclude that this battery is not a genuine Sony battery. It could not be more obvious that it is. I can't rule out the possibility that Amazon somehow bought a batch of counterfeit batteries at some point and was selling them unknowingly. That is possible I supposed, but it is not particularly likely, and even if it happened, it did not continue for very long. The packaging is exactly the same as the packaging you see for this battery anywhere else, to include the retail shelf at BB. And there aren't any visible differences between this battery and the battery than came with my NEX-7. As for the price markdown, it is apparent that Sony permits on-line retailers to sell this battery at a discounted price, that Sony specifies, because there are many on-line retailers who sell this battery, and they all sell it for the same price. The only way that could occur is if Sony tells them that they can sell it at a discount, and tells them the specific amount at which they are permitted to sell it. The fact that this is clearly taking place is further compelling evidence that this is a genuine Sony battery. And the package has the special holographic security strip, that shows the Sony logo only if you hold it at the required angle relative to the light. There just isn't any reason for anyone to think that this is not the real deal. It could hardly be any more obvious that it is the real deal. But, if you prefer, you can go buy it at BB instead and pay twice as much for it.

I was amazed to get a Sony battery for less than £50! it seems to be just as good as a full priced new one! Charges quickly too. I'm not sure what makes it "used" as it looks like new, though wasn't in Sony packaging.

Price is a little pricey.

Worked great with my Sony Alpha a6100! lasts much longer than generic batteries. Yes, it’s expensive, but I needed something reliable for long aurora borealis sessions. I used two batteries for about 2 hours of burst shooting at -10°C, and they performed flawlessly. Totally worth it!

Aus langjähriger Erfahrung weiß ich, dass Sony original Akkus wesentlich leistungsstärker und langlebiger sind als die von Fremdanbietern. Man kann sie, um Geld zu sparen, oft auch getrost gebraucht kaufen. Der von anSanto gelieferte NP-FW50 war, wie versprochen, nahezu neuwertig. 19.90€ inklusive Versand mit Rückgaberecht (was ich selbstverständlich nicht in Anspruch genommen habe), sind ein wirklich faires Angebot, und ich bin froh, das hier auf dem amazon marketplace entdeckt zu haben. Ein Blick in die "Kleinanzeigen" verrät schnell, dass das anSanto-Angebot unschlagbar ist.

Lorsquez l'on compare la baterie d'origine Sony à des produits de sous-marque, on sait que ce produit est sensiblement plus cher mais on sait ausii pourquoi : il ne vous abandonne pas en pleine prise de vue alors que votre batterie de rechange est restée dans le sac dans la voiture ! Une bonne photo, ça n'a pas de prix !
