I purchased the above long life battery. I was able to count on it's nearly four hours of dependable power to shoot a wedding . . .plus an entire party following the wedding. No worries whatsoever about this battery quitting on me! I also purchased a SONY 810 CAMCORDER . .for the uses I have it cannot be beat. Having a couple of these strong batteries for back-ups I never have to worry about power; it is so nice not to depend on house power.[...]

I didn't go large enough. This battery is a good backup to the 100 class battery. I would suggest going as large as possible. These batteries don't last as long as the previous Sony batteries did.As the saying goes...go big or go home.

Comments about Sony NP-FV70 Rechargeable Camcorder Battery Pack (2060mAh, 8.4V):
Nice capacity. As someone else noted, this battery improves the camera's balance and feel in the hand. Initially, I thought it would be unhandy because it is larger than the standard FV50. I've had other Sony high capacity batteries that got in the way of the view finder and operations, but this one has no issues like that. It's just right.

I use this extended power battery pack with my work and play. Instead of carrying two smaller battery packs, this battery gives me more than twice the standard size battery that came with my new camcorder. Also, at B&H, the price is as good as you can find any where and the service is reliable.

This is true Sony Battery. It is long-lasting and holds a charge like you would expect. I have never been disappointed when I purchase from B&H. They have the best price I could find online with the assurance that you are purchasing exactly what they are advertising. With their free shipping, this is a win-win situation.

The NP-FV70 is perfect for taking contineous video. The battery that comes with the Sony camcorder will only last a little over 1 hr. This battery gives me a good 4 hrs when I'm shooting my kids concerts, plays and sports.

Nice compact size (fits in the palm of your hand) so I am able to put it the outer pocket of the case that came with my video camera (HDV-CX160). Plug folds in so that the bottom is smooth when put away. Charging speed is similar to the charger that came with the camera and this would be the only thing I would improve.

I use the battery in my Sony NEX-VG10 Video Camcorder, it works perfectly and maintains its charge for a truly considerable time. I never skimp when purchasing camera batteries and only buy the actual brand batteries which tend to last for years. Out of market batteries may start good but tend to fail within a year.
Great battery.

We needed an extended battery for our Sony Handycam. We use it for videotaping sports events and the standard included battery was not allowing us to do that.

The battery that comes with the Sony HDR-CX560V doesn't last long at all. This one seems to last hours. Yes, it sticks out a bit compared to the one that comes with the camera but I'd trade that over a long battery life any day. When you're recording an entire holiday show for your daughter's 3rd grade--you don't want to have to worry about swapping batteries. I'm thinking of buying another as a backup.
