Much better than the one that came with the camera

2008-06-18
I bought this battery for the DCRDVD610 camcorder and was much better than the one that with it. I went on a trip to London and was able to record videos using the LCD for a whole day without running out of battery.

Great Battery!!!

This is one great battery. My wife and I recently went on a 9 day cruise and took this battery along to be used as my main battery for our camcorder while using my old battery as a backup. I never used my backup battery and I charged this battery only once throughout our whole trip! What a great buy. You can't go wrong with this one.

Must get for camcorder

I recently bought the HDR-SR11 and was recommended to buy this battery. The battery that comes with the camcorder is the FH-60, but that only lasts 96 minutes if you use it for continuous recording, and while using the viewfinder and not the lcd screen. On average, the stock battery only lasts about 40 minutes.

The FH-70 lasts up to about 150 minutes. It doesn't stick out the back of the camcorder (at least for my SR11), looks exactly like the stock FH-60 battery. The FH-70 usually lasts a whole day for me, and I use it to record basketball games, swimming, skateboarding, and everything in between. With both the FH-70 and stock FH-60, they should be able to last for a whole day of recording.

Camcorder battery

Excellent battery. Exact match for manufacturer battery, but saves at least 25%. Info Lithium sends battery charging information to the camcorder, so you aren't surprised with a dead battery.
Charges quick with excellent battery life.
I would recommend this product

Works With My Camcorder

2008-05-25
I haven't had the backup battery very long so I can't say how durable and lasting that it is. If you are wondering if it will work with your camcorder - it worked with my Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Camcorder perfect.

Excellent battery

Purchased this battery as a back up for the Sony Camcorder supplied one.
The NPFH70H worked on my trip to Rome for nearly two days each use without
having to recharge. The Camcorder supplied battery worked about half a day each time. Highly recommend the NPFH70 H for its reliability and longevity.
It is almost a necessity if you plan to shoot for more than a few minutes a day.

product fine, software stinks

2008-07-17
i'm too exasperated to make this into a decent review. i have no clue why Sony feels the need to have proprietary issues over its downloading software. this makes this machine EXTREMELY frustrating for those that work on different computers or need to transfer video to other sources. i wish someone or SONY would just let me know, WHAT'S THE POINT? WHAT DO YOU GAIN? i feel like throwing this camcorder against the wall.

Misleading specs (lasts 150 min instead of 6 hours) but good replacement

2008-06-24
I'm giving it four starts because:
1. lasts longer than the supplied battery but disappointing since it's advertised to provide 6 hours of usage.
2. Doesn't stick out of my camcorder (HDR SR11)
Overall I'm pleased with my purchase but wished it could last longer.

Satisfied

2008-06-20
I bought Sony camcorder HDR-CX7 that came with NPFH60. The battery only lasts 90min. That is too short for me to take a movie for my family. Therefore, I ordered NPFH70 from Amazon. I'm now satisfied with the shooting time from this battery that can last more than 2 hours.

Well worth the money

2008-06-19
This is an essential accessory for the camera. I don't have to worry anymore about the battery, it lasts about 3.5 hours and charges very quickly.

Money well spent !!!

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

Editorial Reviews from Book News, Inc.
A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
