 I'm sticking with the original brand this time October 14, 2007

Generalizations are suspect. But I'm just fine with this one: when buying rechargeable gadget batteries, I will get a better long-term result from the original manufacturer's product - or a major well-known battery brand - than from a "no name" battery. "No name" batteries generally cost less than the alternatives. But in this case you get what you pay for in the long run.
My generalizing comes from experience. A few years ago I bought two "no name" rechargeable batteries to supplement the OEM battery for a Nikon digital camera (Coolpix 7900). The "no names" performed OK at first. But over a couple of years they aged much faster than the OEM battery. Finally one of them couldn't hold a charge at all and the other one held its charge about half as long as the OEM battery.
(Rechargeable batteries lose their ability to hold a charge after a certain amount of use - i.e., a number of "charge-and-discharge" cycles. The Nikon OEM battery didn't "age" as fast as the no-names did over two years of heavy use, although it too finally lost a lot of its ability to hold a charge.)
That's why I ordered two of these Panasonic brand batteries to use in my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) - in addition to the OEM battery that came with it. I'm happy so far with the performance of all the batteries. Because they are all Panasonics I don't really know by now which is the original and which are the supplementals.
Maybe buying *two* extra batteries for my Lumix was a little more than needed, but once burned, twice shy. I don't want to be out all day shooting a lot of pictures, and get stuck with a dead battery and no replacement. That happened to me on a foreign vacation - and I vowed, never again.

I am so pleased with this battery, I hated the double a batteries, there always low and this battery holds a charge so long, I bought an extra one just to be safe but have never had to use it.
Just as good as the original. January 18, 2007

I purchased this product for my mother as a Christmas gift, since we recently found her a new digital camera (the Panasonic Lumix) that used only the rechargable batteries. She is very happy with the battery and now doesn't have to wait to charge it when it runs out. The price was also a plus.

The battery life is decent. I can get about 200 shots out of the battery before I need to change it. Not nearly as long lasting as my Casio Exlim, but the camera is better.
Second Battery for Panasonic LUMIX January 18, 2007

In my opinion a second battery is essential equipment for the camera.
The camera comes with an external charger.
