This camera still is good for taking videos in decent quality (just don't use the Zoom and your videos will remain focused. I just tonight found a small annoyance, in the settings you cannot set the date stamp that is put on your video files. I tried formatting and accessing the camera from Win 7, and there's just no way to adjust it (other than manually doing it in Win 7 on the file itself, but not within the camera settings. I still don't use it for pictures (unless I'm in a pinch for a camera). I also have come across a couple of file corruptions, which didn't seem like a problem till I tried to burn the video along with a series of other videos. This hasn't happened much, but did happen about 2 times (in 2 years...not bad). I basically had to delete the corrupt clip and reburn the DVD and all seemed good. Hope this helps...any questions you can contact me at mrformat@gmail.com Well I’ve had this camera for almost 2 years now, and have an update.

They worked great! I purchased a cheap charger for them just in case the camera couldn't charge them and found the camera worked great charging them to a full charge. The charger worked ok, a clip broke off so I had to rig it so that it would work. I plan to buy a couple more of the batteries and a new better charger. The movies are great from the movie pix, I purchased a program AVS4your to convert them to avi. Hope this will help those of you that have the MoviePix, don't throw it away, invest in a couple of cheap replacement batteries.

I'm not sure the life of the battery but they charge in the camera and get a full charge and I took video with them. I purchased the charger with the batteries in case they didn't charge in the camera, so I have a backup source to charge. The 2 batteries and charger were less than 20.00. These batteries are slightly smaller(slender) than the one that came with the camera. I did find that if you place the battery in the camera and it doesn't respond, look back in the camera and make sure the pins are lifted, once one was stuck and I didn't get a response from the camera. Hope this will help those of you that couldn't find a battery. I purchased Nokia BL-5C batteries and they work with the MoviePix MP5A4-BK.
