Customer Review: Replacement for the NP-FP71
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for the NP-FP71 battery at Best Buy (which had a better price than Amazon at the time of this review), only to find out that it has been discontinued. It has been replaced by this battery. The Sony package claims similar stats as the FP71, but with an improved 10 MINUTE recharge time! I just ordered it from Amazon and will update this review after I have had time to test it. The only reason I am giving it 5 stars (at the time of the review) is because of the reduced price and (claimed) 10 minute recharge time. If it does what it says...it'll definately be worth the money!
***UPDATE***
Can't say it takes 10 minutes to charge this battery, but it doesn't take much longer. This battery is definately worth the money. No compaints!
FYI...look this battery up on the Sony website and click the "Compatability" tab to see a list of compatable camcorders.
Customer Review: 6.5 hours of record time
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sony NP-FH70 battery is well worth the investment. It provides 6.5 hours of record time with a Sony MiniDV camcorder. Amazon's price is a lot less than if you purchased it from any other vendor. Word from the wise, do not purchase those after market batteries made to replace the NP series batteries. The after market batteries require a piece of wire to conncet from the battery to the camcorders DC input in order to work with the camera. You will only save $10 over the Sony original but will be poked in the eye a bunch of times by the stinking wires. Also the aftermarket batteries do not display the battery time on the camera screen. So you have to guess when the battery will die. Sony did well with this product, though I wonder why stupid batteries are so damn
Highly recommended

Customer Review: A Fun Friend inDeed
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sony NPFH70 is a fun friend inDeed--small, light and able to power your Sony camcorder for almost 3-4 hours depending on how your Camcorder is set--High Def vs. Standard def. I purchased the battery along with the Sony BCTRP charger- it was cheaper to purchase both together instead of individually. You can also purchase the Sony NPFH100 whick will give you longer running time---but the battery will stick out of the housing and will add extra weight to the camcorder. With the battery that comes with the Sony Hanycam and this extra battery pac- the FH70, you should have enough battery power for over 5 hours of taping. Please remember to have all your batteries charged and ready for your taping day!
The battery is a fun friend that you will want to take with you everywhere!
Have a great day Mr. Smith! Rocketeer
Customer Review: Most Convenient Battery for Sony Camcorders
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony NPFH70 H is not the biggest capacity battery (1800MA) for Sony camcorders, but it seems to me most convenient.
My Sony HDR -XR500 V is shiped with H60 battery which has 1000mA, while H100 has 3900mA. However H100 has much bigger phisical size and may be not very comfortable, if use viewfinder. H70 has enough power to let you record at least for 2 hours, or even more and it has almost same size, as H60.
I believe that the best combination is: two NPFH70 batteries (one-on the camera and second in the case, or NPFH70 + NPFH60).
It makes having H70 to be a MUST.Sony NPFH70 H Series Actiforce Hybrid InfoLithium Battery for most Sony Camcorders
Customer Review: Must get for camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
