Great product at a fair price

(5 out of 5) by Bill on Nov 12, 2008 (Eastern, North Carolina)
Originally purchased a "look alike product" online. Would not hold a charge! Advice: Buy only OEM and don't waste $20.00. The product I ordered from Amazon was a sony product and worked flawlessly. Good product, best price and quick delivery.

Like the addition of time remaining

(5 out of 5) by Whip on Jul 6, 2008 (Pinehurst)
I was pleasantly surprised when I first inserted what I bought to be a backup battery for my trip and found it calculated the time remaining for battery life. It is now my primary battery.
Works like a charm in my Sony T70 camera.

Definitely a plus

(4 out of 5) by J. Cebrian on Feb 10, 2009 (Houston/Austin, Tx)
I definitely needed this battery for the Sony DSC-T700. Especially because I like to play with "paint" on the pictures I take. If you will be using your camera for extended periods of time you might want to get this. Plus it has the remaining time estimation, which is awesome.

SONY NPFD1 BATTERY

(5 out of 5) by G. W. OMary on Jul 29, 2008 (CA)
The battery was delivered very quickly and is working great in my camera. I especially like the feature showing the time remaining on the battery's charge - very helpful.

Shows you remaining minutes

(5 out of 5) by Gadgester on Aug 22, 2009 (Mother Earth)
This NP-FD1 battery is of the same size and capacity as the NP-BD1 battery that came with your Sony digital camera. This means it's slim and takes the same number of shots. The difference is the FD1 is an "InfoLithium" battery (Sony's trademark) and it tells you the approximate remaining minutes on the camera LCD screen. This estimate is not completely accurate, but does give you a rough idea of how much longer you can use your camera before battery runs down. Note that the indicator is number of remaining minutes, not number of shots.

BTW, while generic replacements for the BD1 battery abound (but I don't recommend using a non-OEM LiIon battery for safety reasons), I haven't seen one for the FD1, presumable because this one uses Sony's proprietary time-estimating technology.
