 Power to spare June 9, 2007

I bought this battery to power my Sony DCR-DVD308 handycam. The battery that comes with the camcorder (the NPFH40) will allow you to record for less than an hour, making it entirely inadequate for anything but home use. With this battery I had enough power to record a day at a wild animal park and a couple of days at Disneyland, with enough left to show my recordings to my parents at their house, my brother at his house, and to various hapless friends who just dropped by our house to say 'hi' and who ended up watching my daughter fly around and around and around on Dumbo (Heaven help me - I'm turning into my father). There's still enough power left from that initial charge to record our trip to the beach next week - at least a couple of hours of my kids frolicking in the sand.
Okay, you get about ten hours of recording time, more playback time. The battery takes overnight to charge in a charger (it takes longer in the camera, so plan on spending another bit of change on a charger). It can be charged for shorter periods, of course, but I don't know whether I believe the claim that this results in no degradation of its ability to hold a charge. With a full charge it's ideal for travel, since only a Japanese tourist would spend more than a couple of hours a day videorecording a vacation. (Why do they videotape cathedrals and the Mona Lisa? Are they expecting Mona to suddenly grin, the cathedral suddenly to fall down?) A normal tourist could easily go a week on a single charge.
My only gripes are the size and the price of this battery. The list price is almost half the price of a decent camcorder. Absurd. Amazon's price is much better, but still high relative to the camera price. I think that battery pricing is a scam, I really do. One wonders whether cameras/camcorders are loss leaders for the profitable business of selling batteries and chargers. The battery is so big that it sticks out like a huge blocky growth from the back of the camcorder. It sticks out far enough that the view finder is hard to use - you'll have to use the screen. With all that power, no problem unless you're in a darkened venue where you'd rather not draw attention to the glow of your screen. I don't take off anything for the size of the battery, since that's a function of the current technology, not bad design. For the price I take away a star.
 Too good.. August 28, 2007

Ok, I gave this battery 5 stars, but it's actually TOO good for that. It lasted for a week long trip taking videos every day. It holds a charge and recharges faster than it takes to discharge it. It does tend to stick out from the camera a good 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 good for several hours of video, so this one is overkill.
 Sony NPFH100 H Actiforce is clumsy on HDR-SR7 camera December 28, 2007

The NPFH100 H battery installed on Sony HDR-SR7 high definition camcorder protrudes into your face when you attempt to use the camcorder's viewfinder. You might also feel that this large battery compromises the balance of the camcorder in your hand. [This battery also makes it difficult to fit the camcorder into Sony's LCS-VAC Sof Carrying Case.] I recommend that you consider purchasing one or two NPFH70 batteries instead.

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 little HDV set-up and those incredible all day batteries. I love this world.
its a battery July 26, 2007

what the hell can you say about a battery? it charges? it works? yes. and it is far superior to the cheesy piece of junk Abe's tried to sell me with my new camcorder. That one had a wire sticking out of it that poked me in the face when I looked through the viewfinder.
