Digital camera reviews of Canon BP-819 Lithium Ion Battery Pack for HF10, HF100 HF S & HF M Camcorders (Retail Packaging)
Digital camera Review: 809 too small. 827 too big. 819 just right. See my pics.
Summary: 5 Stars
the standard battery (809) that came with my camcorder had a pitiful battery life. Approx. 45 minutes. The 827 was too big and felt uncomfortable in my hand. The 819 is just right. Its about 4 hours and easily lasts an outing or event. It doesn't sit flush like the the original battery but my thumb still rests comfortably on the the battery while filming.
The 819 is a good balance between form and battery life. Its good for my hobby of taking videos of family events.
I think I would get the 827 if I were to use for something more professional and/or where a tripod is used (and of course, duration is paramount).
Digital camera Review: A MUST HAVE for the HF10 and HF100 Camcorders
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have if you bought this camcorder. I one that comes with it will never last long enough.Digital camera Review: A great backup battery you need
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this battery pack for the Canon HF100 I purchased at the same time. As other reviewers have said it sticks out further in back than the OEM battery but is quite acceptable in use.
So far it has held it charge well and gives about 185 min of run time.
Well worth the additional investment.
Digital camera Review: A little bulky and doesn't match color of Canon HF100
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: A must with your new camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the new HFS100 and this is a must if you plan on using it over an hour. Batteries that come new with camcorders are poor. You would think a $1000 camcorder would come with a better battery but no luck.
