Customer Review: Ok stuff... doesnt hold charge much... go with OEM
Summary: 2 Stars
Hi all,
Got this product for our new Panasonic GS320V, after reading reviews of several products, chose this one based upon the price and mili amp rating.
As someone else has noted, this is a thick battery and it tends to stick out of the camera.
The big draw back is that even after a full charge (the charger light goes off once the battery is charged) it holds up less than the original panasonic battery does - which is more than half the size of this.
Most of our recordings were done at Disney/Universal/SeaWorld shows. These shows typically last between 15 - 25 minutes. Also, a good indicator was the miniDV tape - which I recorded at SP mode - 60 minutes.
Almost all the time, I ended up using the viewfinder and not the LCD screen to save the battery life. I was not using any external light and the zoom was set to wide angle - most of the time. I did minimal close up shots. The reason I am explaining this is to show that I did very minimal stuff to prolong the use of the battery.
Anyway, now, this battery did NOT even last for 90 minutes at most!
The original OEM battery that came with the camera lasted between 150 minutes to about 180 minutes!
I would have expected that considering the size of this battery, this would at least last twice as long as the original one. But it only lasted about half or 3/4ths of the original one.
As someone has said, you get what you pay for!
For anyone who is into long shooting, I would strongly suggest buying original ones OR if you buying aftermarket ones, buy more than 2 or 3. Dont forget to buy additional chargers too!
If I used this in the morning and shot all day, I remember charging this that night. With the OEM one, I did NOT charge it again until a day and a half had passed of using it.
I did ask Amazon for a refund on this. I am yet to mail it back.
This is a long review... but if it helps even a single person to make the right choice, its well worth it. Thanks for reading this.
Later.
