Happy new year all...
I have a Panasonic Lumix FS5 compact digicam, and I though it might be worth an ask on here before a google...
Are there issues with using ebay replacement batteries in my Lumix, there are conflicting reports, but I just replaced my Fiju after 10 years, and I used non-OEM batteries from ebay.
There are both issues with supply of Lumix batteries from Panasonic, and also reported firmware lock-out of non-OEM ones.
Also, the ebay batteries are about 10% of the price of an OEM one, so a potential huge saving.

I take it that there is nothing illegal about discussing non-OEM batteries on a public forum, and no copyright infrindgement?
