Sony NP-FW50 Lithium-Ion 1020mAh Rechargeable Battery

Great battery, holds a change.

very nice and 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.

Worked great in my sony camera.

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.

First and foremost, I used to work for "Sony Seattle Premium Outlet" before it leases was bought out by Ambercombie & Fitch. I work there for two years, I was in charge of the camera department hence I know everything about still camera batteries and video batteries for every make and model of camera. This battery is 100% the real deal. Its the same as the old Japanese built W series battery but now made in China. The reason for this is the battery used to cost $80.00 but the switch to a Chinese manufacturing shaves off $20.00. Also, the technology has vastly improved in the past few years thanks to the switch to a more uniform slightly slimmer design and YES this battery will work with your old W series charger that came with your camera. MOST importantly, take the battery out of the package and give it a complete full charge BEFORE you use it in a camera. Doing this will help to set the internal InfoChip to give you an accurate percentage reading of your battery power level. As for other Sony batteries out there. How to find an exact replacement for your old battery is simple. Etched or Printed onto the battery itself is a letter this indicates what battery is compatible with your product. For Example: W - Most Older Sony Still Cameras Nex and Alpha Series Z - Is the grandson and replacement for the W series battery, (WILL NOT WORK WITH OLDER CAMERAS THAT USE W BATTERIES) V - Is the uninformed standard for ALL Video Cameras (However the L series exist, but that's mainly used as replacements for OLD Handycams and external recording devices) M - Is used for large body full frame still cameras and broadcast field monitors. I hope this guide has been useful in helping clear up the confusion, on the legitimacy of this product.

Good

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.

We looked on line for a spare battery for our new camera, although the prices varied from each seller, some batteries were not the Sony make, although they tried to pass off a such, we decided to pay the extra money and take a chance with this seller, and we were not disappointed the battery arrived in good time well packaged and more important fits the camera as good as the original one and does not "rattle around" as some customers reported with a cheaper substitute. worth the money, thanks.

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 !
