Great battery
Great battery. I like how Sony keeps using NP-BX1 on their RX100 cameras. I used off brand before and those were not as reliable as genuine one like this.
Pros: Genuine Sony product
Cons: None

Battery life
Great long lasting for still shots on my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 camera.
Pros: Long lasting for still shots.
Cons: Doesn't last long when your using the movie option.
fits the camera
The nice thing about having an extra battery is to be able to take more shots. The unfortunate thing about this one is that the camera must be used to charge the battery. This will allow us to use two batteries during the busy time for photo shots - if needed.
Pros: fits the camera
Cons: a tad expensive, but that was expected
