    Longer Life...Uncompromised Quality!

    "The Sony Infolithium L Series batteries have always been a staple in my video accessories collection. With the addition of the NP-F970 I can eliminate the need to change batteries so often and when I need to pack light I can carry fewer spare batteries. All of this is due to the significant increase in battery life as compared to previous Infolithium L models. Simply put, you get the same unmatched quality of an..." Read Full Review »
