Nice but there is a cheaper way
(5 out of 5) by Jason D. Luster on Jan 22, 2005 (orlando)this battery is awsome charges in 2 hours or less and is actualy good for 150 pics or more as promised. You can get one of the knockoff batteries from a sell here on amazon for $6.88 that as far as I can tell works just as good. I have one of each but only for a few days now and each as been through a full charge and drain and I noticed no difference between them.

Good Extra Battery To Have
(5 out of 5) by Martin A Hogan on Jul 11, 2005 (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules))If you go to remote places, you need to have at least one extra battery for your camera. At this price (used), I'd even buy three. Even though this is rechargable and lasts longer than AA Batteries, you will lose a lot of battery charge when transferring images to another source (computer) or viewing them on the LCD. You might figure 125-150 picutres on one battery, but the video will use even more.

Long Lasting Battery
(5 out of 5) by LoriZubie on Jan 4, 2007 (Jacksonville, FL United States)I bought this battery as a back up to the one that came with my camera and I am pleasantly surprised at how long it stays charged. I use my camera almost everyday and I've only had to change it twice. I highly recommend it.

Just like the original
(4 out of 5) by J. Johnson on Mar 27, 2006 (Morgan Hill, CA USA)Bought this as a backup battery for my Nikon Coolpix 7900. What else can I say, other than it's identical to the one that came with the camera, and at this point I'm not sure which is which.
Are there cheaper replacements out there? Yes. Was I going to risk my $350 camera to save $10 on a generic brand battery that might burn up? Nope. Peace of mind is worth a few extra bucks, but the extra cost brings it down to 4 stars.

Impressive
(5 out of 5) by wkgs42a on Jul 11, 2007 (NY)I've used a lot of rechargeable batteries in various digital cameras. Even with its compact size, this one performs and holds a charge well, and I'm surprised at the number of shots I can get on a charge. It also lasts longer than I expected in storage during times when the camera isn't used frequently. The two-hour recharging time is very reasonable.
You can get cheaper substitutes, but I wouldn't risk the electonics in my P5000 with an off-brand battery. And at $10, its very reasonable.
