Is it possible to use a third-party Info-lithium replacement battery in a SONY digital camera? Hi! Please...I have a SONY DSC-S50 Cyber-shot digital camera, and I believe it's time for a battery replacement. The model number on my battery is: NP-FM50. This battery is the original battery and it came with the camera. It's labled as an "infolithium" battery. Please, is it mandatory that I order a SONY replacement battery, in particular, or am I safe in ordering a compatible lithium battery online or elsewhere? If so, which online site is recommended? One site suggested that sometimes third-party batteries don't always work in SONY digital cameras. Sony, naturally, suggests that I use their brand of accessories. I am still quite the novice and any/all advice regarding this subject will be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

Why do people buy Sony Compact Digital Cameras? What makes a large percentage of teenagers buy Sony compact cameras? Is it just for the brand name?

Can Sony Digital Cameras battery charge via cable? Some ignorant person answered this basic ?on an older post that NONE of the digital cameras can charge from USB cable which is totally UNTRUE! My Samsung for instance DOES recharge that way. I am interested in buying a used Sony W30 but I don't want any camera that I am forced to remove the batteries from just to charge them! I can't find the answer in any reviews I read. If someone actually KNOWS as opposed to the ever growing # of annoying peeps that I suppose are more or less guessing and gambling that they will sound right or helpful (what is THAT all about anyway? if they are wrong they look ENTIRELY ignorant!) I'd sure appreciate sincere facts or even honestly stated thoughts! What is really annoying is when a question is NOT ever answered and yet they list it now as "Resolved" so no one can even add or correct wrong info ... then there is this permenant MISINFORMATION sitting there until judgement day probably! Anyway thanks in advance to any honest helpfuls out there!! BTW just because a dig camera comes with or has available for it an external charger is no indication that said camera does not also support charging via a cable or cradle (which is also a cable too really) I once again cite my Samsung i85 as a "for instance" ( the i85 is not at all rare in this regard as there are a plethora of others also ) The batteries in these practically designed cameras will happily accept electrons when needed via a cable or from a propietary external charger. Actually I am amazed that folks would accept any full featured full priced camera (or phone or pda or gps etc etc etc) that requires REMOVING the battery just to charge it! It really is ridiculous as there is no reason whatsover that it can't have acable charge option adding mere pennies to the manufacturing costs. An ultra low end model intionally devoid of ammenities? One ought ONLY expect such tactics on a bare bones $39 "loss leader" type device in my opinion!

Looking for a good sony digital camera? I'm wanting a good digital camera, but not something that would cost a million dollars. It can be other brands but I would prefer sony... So I'm looking for a camera that isn't bulky... but I guess most digital camera's aren't. I'd like a good picture quality as in... no random white dots if the lighting source isn't good, or anything like that. Fairly quick picture taking would be lovely... and if the camera's limit is only limited to the memory cards' limit. Also being able to record clips... if there could be some sound. I was looking at some of the lower grades of sony camera and I noticed recording doesn't have sound. And again, I'd prefer sony, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

It has worked beautifully up to this time, and I'm on vacation with a malfunctioning camera and not a happy camper.
