I just bought 3 of these batteries for my Sony W290 because i'm afraid that they will run out quickly... and they have. However, they are unique because they tell you how many minutes of battery life you have left.
I would prefer AA's batteries, but I went for these batteries because i just purchased a Sony Cybershot W290 for its quick shot-to-shot time. Moreover, I decided to go "green" for once.

"priceless and no getting no where". Purchased this rechargeable battery for my Sony camera. Doesn't matter what I do; it won't recharge! Took both charger and new battery to a local company that specialized in batteries. I was told both were functioning properly. I decided to leave both items with the battery company overnight. Next morning, arrived back at the battery store to find that the product didn't recharge overnight. Let's not forget that there is nothing wrong with my charger or new battery. So, I'm stuck with a new battery, old camera and still getting no where. Recommend the company;but not the rechargeable battery.

Comments about Sony NP-FG1 (G-Series) Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
Bought this as a 2nd battery to my HX5V. Original model was NP-BG1. This battery is an update to that. It includes a minutes left countdown on the display in addition to the battery level icon. No problems so far hence the 5 stars.

Comments about Sony NP-FG1 (G-Series) Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery:
I got tired of buying cheap rechargable batteries on [...]. Often it turned out they were "equivalent" which meant they were an older spec so they didn't work with the camera or phone like a new one. Fixes like "discharge and short this out", and loss of special ilitium charge reporting circutry were a pain. Better to by the real thing so you'll be sure of power when you need it,
