Only lasted a year
2009-07-02Purchased the battery in February 2008. Worked fine size and power wise with my OEM charger and TZ3 camera though it seemed to last a few shots less than the original Panasonic battery (CGA-S007A). However, starting a few weeks ago, the battery refused to charge the full time and dies extremely quickly when placed in my camera. It's been less than 1.5 years. The battery has a 3 year warranty on it but Lenmar charges $7.50 shipping and handling for warranty returns over 90 days.
Cheap price but not a recommended purchase.

lenmar dlp007
2009-06-15Received a Lenmar branded battery as advertised. Works fine in my Lumix DMC-TZ5, but definitely does not last as long as the OEM Panasonic battery, maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of the life of the Panasonic battery. For the price, its a good emergency backup but wouldn't use it as a replacement of the OEM battery.

This works just as well as the original
2009-05-26The title pretty much sums it up. I have had this for over a year and I am completely satisfied.

perfect backup battery
2009-05-13Seems to have exactly the same capacity that the original has (~200-300 pictures in a day to day use). Great to have a backup, which also helps to keep the life of the batteries up because you can actually use them all the way until they are empty and then fully charge them again since you have a second.

Lasts Almost as long as OEM and a lot less expensive
2009-05-05These are good quality batteries in my opinion. I have had them for about 6 months now. They charge and hold charge fine. I have noticed a slight bit less life than the OEM but at the cost they are fine. I bought two so I now have 3 batteries total to rotate between. They fit the slot perfectly and are not larger or "swelled" up like some of the really cheap brands. They come in a sealed package and the batteries have clear writing on them (on the opposite side from the photo you see on Amazon's site). I say this because some of the generic ones on ebay I have seen are illegible.

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is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back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 ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
