I bought it from Amazon and had been using it for my Kodak z8612is. Besides that, i also purchased insten battery charger to use with the batteries. The charger charge the battery in just 4 hours. The indicator light will turn off to indicate the battery is ready.

It is best to let the charger lying down while charging. This can ensure the battery stays in the slot due to some battery casing size is smaller (as claimed by other user)

This is the KLIC-8000 battery i got. The build looks solid and quality. The spec is 3.7V/Li-ion, 1900mAh. It took me about 4 hours to charge it up with the insten charger. Trying it on my kodak z8612is, the camera still don't show low battery warning even after 400 pictures taken. (about 100 pictures with flash). It is definitely worth the money.

I am using it with my Panasonic lumix lz8. Considering the price is only a fraction of a real macro lens, it is a cheaper and good alternative for those with budget constraint. For wide angle shots, some barrel distortion can be observed. User are advised to zoom all in when using macro lens, and all out when using wide angle lens.

The lens let you zoom in nearer to the object, making you able to capture the details of object. The picture produced is sharp and crisp. It is a good lens for beginner with compact camera who want to try some advanced macro shot.
