Sony NPFS11 Camcorder Battery

Rating:
Summary: LowLife
Review: Sony low life battery. Should last more than 1 year. It would be cheaper to buy another vendor's camera and use akaline (throw-away) batteries. Why should this thing cost [$$$] dollars?

Summary: Battery NP-FS11 for Sony DSC F505V
Review: The Sony DSC F505V came with one NP-FS11 battery. I ordered another one right away as I knew it would be needed.
Recently, I wast taking a lot of flashes and the battery ran out. Which probably is normal as flash must use a lot of battery power. I feel I need another one to have "just in case".
Generally, the camera gives me plenty of warning on low battery.
If there is a better battery for this camera, I would like to know about it.
I really like my camera.

Summary: sony blew this one!
Review: these batteries are brutal - the only thing worse is when you call Sony customer service and they "have never had a problem" and laughingly tell me to send in the battery for a test - which will cost me $61.00. if someone in my company took that action they would be looking for a job. do not buy ANYTHING with this battery. its to bad because Sony does do some things right - but have lost me....all due to a battery!

Summary: Everyone is right - this battery stinks
Review: To me "rechargable" means "indefinite use," not "conks out after 18 months." We bought the camera and an extra battery ... For a long time everything worked well - we went on a vacation ... and took loads of pictures with only one recharge during the whole week. But sometime around Jan. 2002, the charges started being shorter and shorter. Eventually around May it got to the point where we could take 3 photos or one movie and then the battery died. I have just recently emailed Sony and they replied that "since our batteries have no Memory Effect [loss of function due to recharging], your battery is faulty and needs replacement." ...

Summary: SONY Disappointing!
Review: We own the Sony Digital Camera DSC-P1. Within a year we had problems with it and it hasn't been two years yet and we have been facing the same problems with the battery that the other reviewers complained about -- it says its fully charged, but when I'm about to take a photo it reads that the battery is "empty". I am disappointed in SONY!! Although the camera was within the 1 year warranty, I still had to pay for Labor (!!) Now it seems like I have to [buy]...a new battery.
