Customer Reviews

An Essential Addition to your SONY HDV Camcorder
The Sony range of semi-pro HDV camcorders are excellent with one minor niggle - the supplied batteries don't give you much more than a couple of hours (As tested on a Sony HDR-FX7 and an HDR-FX1). The solution is to purchase the NPF970 6600mAh long life battery. Using Sony NPF970 batteries I was able to run FX7 for 480 minutes record time and 660 playback. The additional weight of this higher capacity battery doesn't destabilize the camera much if at all, and it is light enough to still allow you to go hand held without having your arms go dead halfway through that crucial shot.

If you are serious about your camcorder usage and your digital video get one of these for your Sony HDR-FX1/FX7/Z1. Better yet, get two and have enough juice for a whole weekend's shooting.

good service
If I'm reviewing the actual product, then I'd expect it to be perfect coming from sony.
If I'm reviewing the delivery etc, then all was fine. Bit delay on arrival but that was cos it was out of stock and this was mentioned at time of ordering.
Nice company called to let me know when delivery would be.

Top Battery
This battery was bought a couple of days before going on holiday, so that i would not have to take the Sony HVR V1 camera's charger and it was as an addition to the battery provided with the camera. When it was fully charged the camera showed a use time of six and a half hours. The battery lasted all of the 11 day holiday and still had plenty of time left in it before requiring a recharge, so much time that i had no need to take the original as a spare. i took over two hours worth of video using this battery. Ok it is more expensive than a none Sony make, but you get what you pay for. With the video camera i have, i believe it is money well spent.
