4 Stars Let’s call a spade a spade
There are a number of poor reviews for this item. While I understand and respect the opinions of those reviewers, it is my personal opinion that this item is worthy of a fairer praise, given its price.
Many consumers who are in need of a replacement battery for their Sony Cybershot (and I’m assuming other) cameras do not want to pay the exorbitant prices that Sony and camera repair shops charge for the factory replacement batteries. My guess is that Google searching led most of them to Amazon and this product. Why were they Google searching? It’s because they wanted to pay less. Well I don’t want to be rude here, but there is a reason some products cost less than others; the whole “you get what you pay for” saying comes to mind.
That being said, considering you get a perfectly fine (in my experience) battery AND a charger for about 1/3 the cost of the factory replacement battery alone, I find it hard to complain too much. Obviously if the battery charger terminals never meet up with the contacts on the battery, the battery will not charge, which of course would be quite frustrating. When buying a new product, I would not expect to have to modify it in any way to get it to work, but I imagine that manipulating the charger’s terminals with a small pair of pliers or tweezers would fix the the issue. I did not have to do this with my charger, but I could tell by looking at it (and even before I bought it) that quality control would be less than ideal.
One kind of has to take the quality of a product like this with a grain of salt due to its cost. The charger works for me, the battery charges in good time, and my Sony Cybershot has been revived. It’s a solid buy at less than $20.
1 Star DOES NOT WORK WITH DSC-W50
This charger is not compatible with the DSC-W50. I know because I purchased this package- and it doesn’t work for my camera.
1 Star Does not work
Light comes on but no one is home. Doesn’t work. Kept it because the battery appears to be fine.
1 Star junk charger
The charger was a very substandard knock-off, not Sony. The chargerterminals would not align properly with the battery terminal. It was a total waste, poorly built, and unusable. My advice would be to throw this vendor off your website
