 Too excellent.. |

| Ok, I gave this battery 5 stars, but it's really TOO excellent for that. It lasted for a week long trip taking videos every day. It holds a charge and recharges quicker than it takes to discharge it. It does tend to stick out from the camera a excellent bit, but it doesn't interfere with the camera operation while being used. Only get this battery if you want really extended video times. The stock battery is excellent for several hours of video, so this one is overkill. |
Charge it and forget it!!!!

I just received this battery that's going in my Sony HDR-SR11 and so far it seems consistent with what others have been saying about this battery... When I initially popped it into the camcorder as soon as it arrived, it showed 2 bars and 75 mins remaining so I left it in the unit and plugged the DC adapter in, to check and see how long it would take until full charge. I was expecting all day but surprisingly it only took around 3 hours until the charge indicator turned off, signaling a full charge. I turned on the camcorder again after unplugging the power and bam! "351 mins remaining" which place a huge smile on my face :D
I have NOT tested the battery to see if it'll really last ~6 hours but the stock battery was pretty accurate so I have no reason to believe this one's any different, hence a 5 star rating. Granted, the battery is a small heavier and does stick out a small more in the back but this doesn't bother me so it's not a negative for me. Amazon shipped it quick (and free!) and it arrived a day early which was a nice surprise!
Note: I see that it also went down in price to just under $100 (it was $5 more when i bought it.) I'd certainly recommend this battery to anyone who wants to just charge it and forget it! |
Disproportinately long-lasting battery

| The battery that comes with the Sony HD camcorders (or at least with my SR7) is the FH60. The FH100 is at least 4-5x longer lasting... So disproportinately excellent battery and so far so excellent - no complaints. Films for ever. |
Huge Battery

I got this battery as a Christmas gift for my Sony HD-SR7 camcorder. Excellent timing since I was heading off to Europe two weeks later. I was in Europe for a week and I only had to charge this behemonth of a battery once after the inital charge. I leave my camera on constantly since it takes a considerable amount of time to start up this camcorder (approximately 10 secs or so). By the time it starts, I might have missed my shot. If I turned off the camera after every photo or video "shoot", I would not have charged it once! Also, once you use the battery more, you're suppose to get more time out of it as the battery conditions. I probably got 7-8 hrs out of the initial charge.
Once I got back, I had the camera connected to my laptop for about two hours downloading the data off it. After downloading the pics/video, I still had over two hours of charge left on the camera.
This is the battery that (arguably) PROBABLY should have been included with the camera. Yes, this battery is large, but it should be no surprise since someone uploaded a picture of it compared to their stock battery. Yes, it sticks out about 1.5 inches or so from the camera. Sometimes I use it to butt it against my face to stabilize the camera :).
I consider taking a star off because it's huge, but it really doesn't bother me. It's not a deal breaker if I was buying it. I also checked this battery out at the Sony Style store at the Metreon in SF so I knew how huge it was before I got it as I was going to buy this myself. I guess someone overheard that I wanted this battery :). |
I simply have to smile

| I simply have to smile at the notion that one would rant about the high price of this item. I'm a professional user (going on 30 years now) and well, in my day, camera batteries were called bricks, weighed eight pounds each, lasted a couple hours and cost in excess of $800.00, without charger; and all that for a three tube analog picture that streaked and smeared. I'm just fine with my small HDV set-up and those incredible all day batteries. I like this world. |
