I am a media studies student and a keen blogger. One of my pet hates when seeing other people’s blogs is the over usage of stock pictures, or photos located through an internet search. So when it concerns my own blog, where possible I like to take my own pictures.

This gives the blog a more professional appearance, assists me avoid any legal problems that come with utilizing additional individuals’s work and keeps my blog site unique.

I never ever set out to have any kind of profession in photography, however over the years because I have actually been blogging I have actually picked up a fair amount of understanding. And for functional explanations, I utilize the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX80. Because it’s the greatest camera for me.

This is for many reasons:

It takes very good shots for a compact.

It’s affordable on a student’s minimal earnings.

And most notably, I have to take my video camera everywhere. I never ever know when an image will present itself that will perfectly show the story I’m blogging about. It could be a drunken guy arguing with a policeman, a homeless man sleeping in a doorway, or a student protest.

So I need a video camera that slips conveniently into a pocket that’s unobtrusive, that I can easily remove when the perfect moment emerges.

This presented one problem nevertheless; I for good appeared to be out of battery life, or running out of battery life. My camera was hardly ever, if ever in a completely charged state.

I then purchased a data backup on Amazon; the STK  DMW-BCK7. Which is a third party variation of Panasonics possess DMW-BCK7 battery. I went for this battery mostly due to the fact that I understood the delivery would certainly be fast, and partly since the rate was right.

It additionally came with a one year guarantee, so with this in mind I was prepared to take a chance on a third party battery. Typically I would just buy the official parts for any electrical product.

It showed up as quickly as I had actually expected. However its performance greatly exceeded any sort of expectations I had. The one year warranty was reassuring, however I didn’t anticipate it to outshine my Panasonic DMW-BCK7. And it did, in abundance.

I now locate that at the end of the day, when I get back, my battery still has a great deal of cost left. Even if it’s seen routine usage over the course of the day. What was initially meant to be purchased as a data backup is now the only battery I remove with me. I don’t have to carry a backup.

It’s been going durable for around four months now, and reveals no signs of fading, even though it’s been used every day. It still holds a fee and also the day I received it.

On looking online, I observed the specs say that this is a 1100mAh battery, and the Panasonic version is only 680mAh. This would certainly go some way to explaining the additional performance. To have something almost twice as great, more affordable than the official variation is impressive value for cash. I would advise this battery to anyone that has a Panasonic that will certainly take it.
