Summary: If you need to be out all day, this works
Comment: 300 plus minutes of recording time (without LCD). I still got several hours with the LCD, backlight on.

For when you are out all day, this is a good long lasting battery.

On the HDR-FX1 I found it preferable to the smaller and lighter battery as it helped provide a touch extra rear weighting. That helped balance when using the camcorder at hip height for me. I can't say I noticed the extra weight as an issue when using at shoulder height, though I didn't have it on my shoulder for long periods at a time.

Summary: MUST HAVE
Comment: For a large camcorder like my Sony FX7 this adds nice rear "ballast" for balance and EIGHT HOURS taping time! I use it for long shoots and the small one that comes with the cam for short home stuff.

Summary: L Series Camcorder Battery
Comment: This isn't a Sony-brand battery, but it works fine. The remaining time shows on the camcorder display, just like it does with the Sony brand. I'm pleased, and the price was great!
