great value
2009-03-23Had it about a year now and have rotated it with original several times with no problem or noted diverence between the two. Hope its still available next year when I would expect one to quit if the camera lasts that long.
Good battery, good price
2009-03-02I purchased 2 ea batteries for my Panasonic Lumix camera. I lost my original Panasonic battery, backup battery & charger on my last trip overseas. I shopped for OEM replacements & like everyone else, was shocked by the prices. So taking a chance, I bought another charger (this time with a DC option that the OEM charger did NOT have) and 2 of these batteries. I got a chance to use one last weekend, and after about 50 shots (many with flash), and using the zoom (a lot), I was never able to drain the battery. The next day I ran my camera in movie playback mode & reviewed pictures for another 10 minutes in an effort to get the low-battery indicator to come on, but it never did. I haven't tested the 2nd battery, but I hope it is 1/2 as good as this one.
You get what you pay for..
2009-02-13I bought this battery for my TZ5. It fits perfectly, and holds decent charge in the beginning.
after a few months of use, the camera started to die when recording lengthy hd-video when using this battery.
Now some 10 months later, this battery in drained after just 30 seconds of video or some 50 photo's taken short after each-other.
Still, good price, but I guess you get what you pay for..
Lumix TZ5 battery back up
2009-02-12As for my needs this is perfect. I do not notice a difference in life.. Works. Great as a back up. I always buy at least one for every new camera... Weird pricing on shipping.
Excellent
2008-10-17I was very satisfied with this product it was actually better than the battery that came with the camera

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with
the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The
formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C,
8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has
its pros and cons
VHS
The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder
is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back
the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS
camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital
video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution,
VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more
and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video
camera used because their technology is now outdated.
VHS-C
The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog
camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use
the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
