Bad News: The capacity is significantly lower than the original. After max. 175 shots (no flash, only the optical viewfinder used) more or less in one piece (made in an afternoon) is final and the camera turns off. The genuine Panasonic battery lasts about twice as long. Second battery is therefore mandatory for a photo tag which reduces the price advantage (2 x EUR 15.90 vs. approx EUR 58 for the original) and a bit annoying to have to think off is there always bring a 2nd battery. Priced but still cheaper so the 3 stars are justified.
