Digital camera reviews of Sony NPFH100 H Series Actiforce Hybrid InfoLithium Battery for most Sony Camcorders
Digital camera Review: Huge Battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this battery as a Christmas gift for my Sony HD-SR7 camcorder. Good timing since I was heading off to Europe two weeks later. I was in Europe for a week and I only had to charge this behemonth of a battery once after the inital charge. I leave my camera on constantly since it takes a considerable amount of time to start up this camcorder (approximately 10 secs or so). By the time it starts, I might have missed my shot. If I turned off the camera after every photo or video "shoot", I would not have charged it once! Also, once you use the battery more, you're suppose to get more time out of it as the battery conditions. I probably got 7-8 hrs out of the initial charge.
Once I got back, I had the camera connected to my laptop for about two hours downloading the data off it. After downloading the pics/video, I still had over two hours of charge left on the camera.
This is the battery that (arguably) PROBABLY should have been included with the camera. Yes, this battery is large, but it should be no surprise since someone uploaded a picture of it compared to their stock battery. Yes, it sticks out about 1.5 inches or so from the camera. Sometimes I use it to butt it against my face to stabilize the camera :).
I consider taking a star off because it's big, but it really doesn't bother me. It's not a deal breaker if I was buying it. I also checked this battery out at the Sony Style store at the Metreon in SF so I knew how big it was before I got it as I was going to buy this myself. I guess someone overheard that I wanted this battery :).
Digital camera Review: Sony NPFH100 H Actiforce is clumsy on HDR-SR7 camera
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Love this battery!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am awed at the great amount of time this battery provides for power. I charge it and it reads an indication of over 560 minutes for recording! Digital camera Review: Must-have battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because there were so many good reviews about how long it lasts. They were true. I have been on the same charge since I got the camera 3 weeks ago. I have filled two discs and am working on a third. I have also been using the camera for playback. I still have over 200 minutes left. I'm terrible about checking batteries so I think this long lasting battery was the best investment I could make. I will keep the one it came with charged so I can use it while this one is recharging.Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this item before the estimated arrival date. Very neat to have as it allows me to film for a very long time without having to worry about it running out. I tape music shows and hate to miss a part of them when I have to change batteries. And using such a battery allows you not to have to have a limited mobility that normally would have to restraint to when the cam corder is powered from the A/C cable.
