wda Posted May 23, 2011 Share #21 Posted May 23, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) .....And another argument for the Leica hit me yesterday: In five years, what I paid for the camera will be of no concern. And since the Leica is so much more elegant, it is clearly the more desirable... And the Leica grip makes it even more desirable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Hi wda, Take a look here D-Lux 5 battery question. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Fang Posted May 27, 2011 Share #22 Posted May 27, 2011 Yes, I have simlar experience - I am using the LX5 battery as a spare and the Lumix View finder without any problems. I have the D-Lux 5 and have successfully used the Lumix battery in it. I have also used the Lumix viewfinder as well. No issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTheRipper Posted June 5, 2011 Share #23 Posted June 5, 2011 I'm about to go to Peru and need an extra battery for my D-lux 5, so I can order the battery seen here for it right?

Why on earth would you buy this battery to use in a $800 camera when you can buy a Panasonic battery MADE for the camera for a few dollars more. Have you read the customer reviews? They are not good.

Mine does not last anywhere near as long as the Leica battery, but it's a decent backup. It does die abruptly, though, leaving you with the lens extended and with no way of retracting it. If that happens, turn off the camera for a couple of minutes, then turn it back on again. It will have recovered enough to allow you to immediately turn the camera off and have the lens retract. Been there, done that. They're plenty cheap, so get more than one. If that seems silly to you, or you don't want the uncertainty, get the more expensive Panasonic.

They are not good. because it's cheaper and I thought I was leaving out of the country a lot sooner than I was and couldn't get the Leica battery in time.

That's just it, you don't need a Leica battery!!! The Panasonic battery for the LX5 is the same and half the price. The only difference is the brand name printed on it. One says Panasonic the other Leica. They are in fact the same battery because the cameras are exactly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
