The purchase of this battery was pretty clear to me then, only original is original. Had already batteries which recharge after a couple of times as swollen that I have almost no longer get out of the camera. Besides, I can certainly say that the batteries in spite of its price and the 15, - shipping is still around 20, - is cheaper than an electronics store. For my part, can only be recommended. Hat by charging cycle to charge cycle in summer and winter is exactly the same power which the original well --- has noted no difference.
