Ultimately I think what it boils down to is how much are you willing to spend to save swapping batteries? Clearly the Sony is the superior battery here. So if you want to have minimum battery changes, the least amount of batteries to charge before a wedding then your choice is clear. On the other hand, if you want to save money and don't mind changing batteries more often, then the Powerextra batteries might suit your needs and offer you value for money.
Visit us and you'll always find a friendly welcome. Our policy is to treat our customers as we would like to be treated ourselves, a simple ideal that we try hard to live up to. I should fully charge both to 100% using the BC-QZ1 charger and repeat the test. Unfortunately I cannot now see what charge each battery was holding since the charger doesn't tell me.
Return policy
It is probably easier for us wedding photographers to swap out batteries. With a new battery, I could usually eek out a Sony NP-FZ100 battery until just before first dance. Where i'd probably be hovering around 6-7%. That would probably see me through the first dance until I left if I wanted to really push it. But is too close for comfort for me at a real wedding. So I have gotten used to putting in a fresh battery during the wedding breakfast when everyone is eating. It just saves me time later in the day and removes the risk of me getting caught out when I'm trying to capture the perfect moment between the bride and groom! Of course I was not expecting the Powerextra battery to be anywhere near 2500mAh. Let's just say over the years I've learned that third party manufacturers can be 'generous' with their estimates. Be that battery capacity or light emitted from a flash, I've learned to always take these figures with a pinch of salt! Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

Over the course of a wedding day, videographers would need to carry less batteries, charge less and swap less if using genuine Sony batteries. One option I just thought of is to use the original Sony battery you got with the camera and have one PowerExtra as the second battery. That could be a happy compromise if you really want to save money. For Wedding Videographers However, where the SmallRig version excels is in its higher 2400mAh capacity, compared to the 2280mAh found in Sony’s own NP-FZ100, offering extra minutes for both video and stills. The big feature here, however, is the Direct USB Type-C charging—simply plug in a cable into the battery, and you can expect a full charge in around 2 and a half hours. Also, it has been confirmed that counterfeits with a decreased battery capacity compared to the genuine batteries are being distributed to the market. The use of counterfeit batteries implies a fire or explosion hazard.

Next I inserted one battery into each A7s3. To make things as fair as possible, I used the same settings on both cameras, same memory card without any lenses attached. The SmallRig NP-FZ100 is one of the best third-party replacements for the Sony’s NP-FZ100 that I have looked at, not only matching but bettering the capacity. The 2400mAh capacity, slightly higher than the Sony original, helps to extend shooting capabilities, allowing a few extra shots or minutes of video. The Powerextra batteries perform adequately. But is 'OK' good enough for you when you are working in a high pressure environment such as a wedding?
