IDX Battery OK? at DVinfo.net

Is anyone using this battery in their HMC150 or 70? Is IDX a reliable company?

I don't remember it being listed last time I was looking for a hi capacity battery. Says it has the chip. Thanks.

I'm using both AB and IDX on my cameras and equipment. IDX is every bit as reliable as AB. Given a choice between the two, I'd pick IDX over AB...cheaper, more reliable and higher power capacity.

Thanks. I'll get a couple right now.

How's the battery working out for you? I'm looking at picking up one more battery for my HMC150 and this is less expensive than the panasonic route.
