Well, I’m not entirely sure why people are bothering to review this battery. If you need to buy one, you need to buy one, period. This is the only battery that works for certain models of the Sony DSLR. There are no substitutes.
You’ve made the choice to go with a Sony, now the choice of battery is made for you. So — if you need one, feel free to ignore the reviews and drop some cash on it.

i bought some low price batteries, which i thought were a decent deal. i bought five. they worked ok in the beginning.
after aprox 5-6 cycles 1 battery was not recognized by the camera. and the others had a short life.li batteries should not crystalize and have a memory.
just keep all the paperwork and packaging until you know you have a good battery. even the real thing can have problems.
by the way i work for a living w/ rechargable battery products.

Awesome. Works well. We’ve taken many pictures of our newborn daughter with it and she’s always cute. Not sure if that’s the battery or just her natural cuteness making her cute, but it is sony, and you know how crafty those sony engineers are…

Some weeks ago I bought a Sony Alpha 200 DSLR. It came with the NP-FM500H battery pack. Although it’s always a bit tricky some cameras work only with their own make of batteries which are pretty expensive, I find this Sony NP-FM500H battery pack is the best I ever have used so far.
It’s not so important to know how much juice there’s left by an exact percentage (it’s useful though!) but it’s better to know there’s sufficient power to take far more than 400 exposures. I once could take 453 pictures. So I think the NP-FM500H battery pack isn’t too expensive. And if you go on a DSLR I think a reliable battery life is most important.

ridiculously priced, but what else do you expect from Sony. Buy that spare because you can’t drop in a couple of AAs if you run out. And don’t forget the $55 remote release.
