Excellent battery life!, June 16, 2008
By
B. VanderfordI can't believe how cheap the Sony batteries are compared to JVC and they last way longer. This one lasts me over 200 min every time. With battery life this good I don't bother plugging in to AC power any more. I thought about getting an anton bauer rig but I think I'll get a couple more of these instead.
Must have for all serious videographers, March 29, 2008
By

I'm a professional wedding videographer and batteries are something of a must-have. There's no excuse for having your camera plugged into an outlet via an extension cord - it's a tripping hazard and it just looks tacky. That's why if you're doing extended periods of filming you've got to have a really long-life battery. That's exactly what this battery delivers - about 715 minutes of battery life when you're recording. (That's just about 12 hours!) I use a Sony DCR-VX2100 professional video camera, so this battery is perfect! Get two!

Long Lasting, must have for DCRVX2100 and others, December 18, 2007
By
Nate Patrick (Phoenix, AZ United States)
I purchased two of these over the past couple of years to go with the two Sony DCR-VX2100's that I used as a wedding videographer. No matter what wedding or event I shot at, this battery did great - and I never once had to change batteries, even when shooting the long 8+ hour daylong events. I would also take one of these with us for our vacations, and would not need to recharge the battery for the whole 5+ day trips, of course just using the camera an hour or so each day.
Great purchase and "investment" in these long lasting batteries.
