Looking to get some cheap batteries for my Sony Cybershot HX9V, but am confused as to whether Sony have a firmware on there that will stop me using non-genuine batteries? These are the batteries I want to buy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-NP-BG...44?pt=UK_Camera_Batteries&hash=item35b3be2b90 Thanks!
Looks like the issue is that some 3rd party batteries apparently won't charge "in-camera" but are fine used in camera if charged externally... http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1009&message=38864699&changemode=1 HTH Jim
i have just ordered this for my hx9v, after much reading, seem to get a good review. maybe the same item as you linked too. not sure
Thanks guys, I think I will get an external charger as well. I wanted one anyway, my last camera came with one and I'd miss if if I didn't have one.
