Digital camera reviews of JVC BN-VF823U 2190-mAh Rechargeable Data Battery for JVC MiniDV
Digital camera Review: Be prepared to buy a new case, this thing is HUGE!
Summary: 4 Stars
It lasts many times longer than the battery that came with my camcorder, but dang, the thing is huge. With it on, my camcorder doesn't fit in my standard case anymore. So I still use the original battery and decided to have this one as the "out all day shooting video" battery. Plus, when you finally do run out of juice, you better plan on charging that thing overnight. It last tons longer than the standard battery, but also takes tons more time to charge.
Either way, you should get one. Pretty cheap for an authentic JVC battery too.
Digital camera Review: Bigger is better
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a little oversized but does the job when I am out playing around with my camera.
Digital camera Review: Definitely an asset!
Summary: 5 Stars
The battery is twice as long as the original, and sticks out the back in a big way. It even double the weight of the camera! But here's the rub: even with the extra weight, the whole camera is still amazingly light! And since it uses the large LCD window for viewing, and has no viewfinder, the extra length is in consequential. My only minor issue was that it now take two hands for me to switch between video and still mode since I can't wrap my paw around the longer battery.
Bottom line: very nice to have the substantially longer recording time, and the extra size is of no significant consequence.
Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
Adds some mass and length to the camera - but its not all that noticeable when in use. Battery has a truly amazingly long lifetime when charged. I am currently using the camera to record wrestling matches and have been able to record and entire day's matches at a tournament for 6 wrestlers without the battery losing one bar.Digital camera Review: Don't forget this item~!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you buy the camcorder, buy the big battery and the charger. We were gone for 11-days and only had to charge this battery once.
