GREAT BATTERY, LONG LIFE, GOT FREE THANK YOU AMAZON December 9, 2008 John D. Min (Allentown, PA) 25 out of 25 found this review helpful
In general, you can purchase non-OEM batteries at much lower prices. They are for the most part, reliable, a fraction of the cost, and will last a good deal of time. The downside, their charges won't be as strong as an original same-capacity battery, their recycle/recharge rate will be less, and they will die out on you sooner, but then again at the price you pay buying another one will still be cheaper. If price is not an issue, this battery is excellent. Best part, I received this battery free as an Amazon promotion for my Canon HG20 which is a must, since the HD Camcorder uses the main screen instead of a viewfinder, battery consumption and use of the hard drive drains power quickly. The batteries that come with camcorders standard are always a joke and should be used as backups only. Thank you and enjoy a great product. BBC
Absolute must for HF series Camcorder November 18, 2008 Kshemankar Bhore (Nasik, India) 22 out of 23 found this review helpful
This Battery give me around 300 minutes of recording time or about 350 minutes of playback time on my HF10.
It does make the camcorder slightly bulky. This battery is a must when you are shooting outdoors.
Over 4-1/2 hours battery time October 21, 2008 Lucas Gonzalez 22 out of 24 found this review helpful
I bought this battery and was very happy with the 4-1/2+ hours of battery time on my camcorder. The battery is a bit bulkier then the one that comes with the HF-100 but that is to be expected since it has like 3+x the capacity. I have the 16MB storage cards and you can fill a little more than 2 of them on a full battery charge.
The camcorder still fit in my case with the battery on, so no big deal.
If you are going to be shooting for a good length of time or you just hate recharging your battery after every 60-90 min session then this is a good buy. I highly recommend it.
Long Life Battery for HG-20/21 February 18, 2009 Alan W. Haskell (California) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This battery is expensive but well worth it. It gives me over 6 hours of video recording. I bought a different brand from ebay for much cheaper and it works, but you have to answer the camera prompt to use a non-canon battery every time the cam is turned on. This is a pain.
Battery Pack for Canon of great benefit May 22, 2009 D. Miller (Moorpark, CA USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
During extensive filming, this battery pack provided reliable use of the Vixia HG20 for many hours. While the battery pack extends beyond the end of the camera when attached, it does not cause a problem in handling the camera nor does it look objectionable. The battery that comes with the HG20 is very short lived and the camera would be of limited value without this option.
