I had informed me before buying at other reviews and found other notes very helpful that he did not put back into the power behind an original battery and fits perfectly in the camera and in the original charger. I have to mention to the fact that I own a Panasonic Lumix FZ8, thus already a betagteres model, and the performance of the original battery's and certainly a later nachgekauften about Amazon Panasonic battery's already had extremely diminished. So I had a look around for a new battery. Of these Hama battery I am thrilled rights. Not only that, the above-mentioned points fully met also with me, so I want to say that it is perhaps even better than it ever had the original battery. On the pop star parade in Munich I made more than six hours away around 500 photos, of which more than 50 deleted locally, occasionally also flashed and then even had a full three bars of the battery level indicator. For the price of just 20, - Euro I submit an absolute buy recommendation.
