I have a Sony DCRTRV265E digital 8 camera & I would like to
purchase a spare battery. But...I am having trouble
finding a np-fm30 battery for my camera.

Do they still produce these batteries, or does anyone know of an equivalent battery (preferably as powerful as possible) which is compatible with this particular camera?

Thanks.

I assume from the E suffix to your camera model you are located in Europe. In which case, here is a UK company that will see you right:

Thank you, LJR (& also for the help in the previous software post).

I'm in the UK, and I will try your recommendation. Very much appreciated!

No problem.
