Just like Panasonic VDR-D310 Camcorder, The SDR-H200 battery also has an excellent battery life CGA-DU12 battery . One additional pack should keep the SDR-H200 going strong for hours at Disneyland.We tested the life of the SDR-H200's CGA-DU12 battery by recording continuously in full Manual mode, with the LCD flipped out and OIS disabled, until the battery cashed in its chips. The SDR-H200 battery battery lasted a total of 144 minutes and 42 seconds (2 hours, 24 minutes, and 42 seconds). This is a truly honorable performance, and one of the highest endurances within this price range we've tested to date.

Panasonic places the USB and DC in terminals within the battery chamber instead of filling up the ample AV port area. Footage cannot be exported through the USB by battery power. Placing the USB jack within the battery cavity is a safeguard to make sure you don't try it.

Cannon HV20 Battery BP-2L14

The first thing you'll notice about the back of the HV20 is that it's fat and wide. The HV20 Battery is notably broader than the HC7's, but the Cannon HV20 battery chamber does not delve into the body as deeply. This is a shame because Canon really skimped on the HV20's viewfinder—it's short, has no rubberized eyecup, and cannot be extended or pivoted upward. If you upgrade your power supply, you will be greeted with a whole face full ‘o battery. In addition, the minute dioptric adjuster, to the left of the viewfinder's lens, is nearly impossible to slide. The HC7's viewfinder is wide, retractable, and has a rubberized ring. Are you taking notes, Canon? So far the Sony HDR-HC7 has trumped in the HV20 in design, and with little respite it only continues from here.

NIKON EN-EL9 for D40 Review

The D40 and its new battery EN-EL9 turn in above average battery life numbers. I suppose I should mention my usual list of "gotchas" about proprietary batteries like the EN-EL9. First, at $45 each, they're expensive. Secondly, unlike with cameras that use AA batteries, you can't use an off-the-shelf battery when your rechargeable dies. As you can see in the chart above, there's only one camera in this class that uses AAs.

BP208 - Canon DC50 First Impressions Battery Review

New Canon DC50 has been available and people like this model very much, The DC5O camcorder battery canon BP208 cavity, while still an enclosed design, is now deep enough to allow an expanded life battery.
