 A little bulky and doesn't match color of Canon HF100 May 27, 2008

I bought this mainly for vacations but it's only used as a backup. I use this on the Canon HF100. It sticks out about half an inch and the color doesn't match. Why doesn't Canon make a silver color version of this? The do for the 809. The camcorder shows around 100 min on a full charge. I brought this camcorder to Disney World and only used the small battery most of the time. I've used this backup once in a while but never ran it down. Even for its size, it's not heavy. I don't noticed that the weight difference between this and the 809 other than that it sticks out and the color doesn't match. After that, you forget about it and never look back.
 A must-have for the field shooter! May 28, 2008

I got two of these and with the stock 809 battery with the camera, I hardly ever run out of juice while shooting in the field. I use 16Gb SDHC's and they make a perfect pair.
2hr battery = 16Gb
My only problem now is storage, storage, storage!

The battery that comes with Canon HF10 doesn't last enough in a day recording. So, an extra battery is indispensable. This one last about 2 hous. It's a little expensive, and unfortunately its bigger and comes out of the camera. If you have the HF100 model, this battery is only available in black, not matching the camera's color.
Terrific buy! July 3, 2008

This battery is the best investment you can make for your HF-100. Whereas the default battery lasts under an hour, this one lasts easily over two hours with very little extra weight. It is a little larger but I find the larger size actually helps me stabilize while using the camera by placing my thumb under the battery. I wouldn't own the HF-100 camera without this battery.

This is the battery that should come with your video camera by default.
What do you do if you want to record events that last longer than 1.5 hours ? You upgrade the battery, right.
The BP-827 (4.5h) is not easy available yet everywhere so the BP-819 becomes the only choice.
It can last close to 3h and thats enough to capture most events.
(Fireworks, school event of your kid, concerts, theatre etc.).
With the external charger the battery is charged in roughly the same time (3h) with the cameras included charger its taking 4h.
