You'll be able to get a non-branded battery for half the price of a Sony. Google the name of the battery.

kinda new this but

1. Is it possible to buy a battery that will last longer but thats double the size but still fits if that makes sense
2. Any brands to stay clear off i see Uniross do one for £25

The batteries will be the same footprint, but will stick out of your camera more (and be a lot heavier!)

so basically i can get a NP-FP90 and it will replace my FP50
