Great Battery! Long Lasting!

"I own the BP-U30 and it just doesn't give me enough run time. I purchased this BP-U60 and was amazed at how much more time I got and it is a lot nicer not having to stop production to switch out the battery. The only downside is the weight the battery adds to the camera as well as it sticks out a bit further from the back of the camera making it look a bit weird. This however is not a total bad thing as the addi..." Read Full Review »

HEAVY & LAME RUN TIME

"it is what it is. i guess the EX-1 is just power hungry. i have 3 of these large ones and the small one that came with the camcorder. although not cheap...still not much of an expense compared to buying a bunch of SxS cards...." Read Full Review »

"This battery has exeeded my expectations. We can go through about two of these in a day while recording 4 to 5 16 Gb cards at max res. on the EX1. Love the gas guage LED's for power checking.

Later I found out the camera drains the battery continually, even when turned off, but by then I had already bought this batter …"  Read Full Review »

"Lasts twice as long as the BP-U30 for a little less than half the cost. Approx 3 to 4 hours for me. Despite being a half inch bigger and costing more than double than the NP-970 batteries, it doesn't pack nearly the same punch and last several hours less. Since Sony changed their battery line, you …"  Read Full Review »
