sony camcorder battery?

Q. i bought a sony HDR-XR350 camcorder. with tat i bought a battery "NP-FV70". it is a 7 hrs recording battery.

my battery is fully charged. when i power on my camcorder it shows only 258min that is 4.3 hrs battery power left.

says the NP-FV70 is a 3.5 hour runtime battery.

How long the battery life is depends on how you use the camcorder. If you turn it on, press record and let it run, that is a very different life than if you press record and stop many times... or if you are playing back rather than recording. There is not single "this battery lasts this long" number. It even says so in the camcorder's manual - and the number in there is based on "best" practices and longest life which most normal people don't do.

As well, temprature can impact battery life... Where did you see that the NP-FV70 "is a 7 hour battery"? Under what conditions and use?

HD camcorder, 14mp photos, long battery life, good lighting?

Q. I'm looking for a full HD camcorder that has very good lighting adjustments, i.e. when the lighting isn't perfect it compensates. I'd also want it to be able to take 14mp photos and have a long battery life. Any help?

A. Camcorders are for video and excellent video can be my by 1.3 mpg camcorders
Cameras can take 14 MPG pictures, so you can hang them on the wall.
You would need in excess of $3500 in order to buy an HD camcorder the could even begin to equal the video quality of a $300 MiniDV tape camcorders videos. Shooting sports with a HD camcorder is a disaster.

In fact any shot with a HD camcorder, where there is movement as simple as lifting an arm, can create shadows on the screen, artifacts, not to mention the out of focus and blurry spots HD video has.

Whats the battery life on this camcorder?

Q. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-Handycam-HDR-SR12-120GB-Hard-Drive-MS-Card-HD-Camcorder-HDRSR12/sem/rpsm/oid/202872/catOid/-13063/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do#proddesc

I cant find it on the site..like how long can you film for?

A. Nearly every camcorder on the planet gets around 1-2 hours of battery life. And at the same time, you can spend extra money on larger batteries, which is what I would recommend you do if you're serious.

What is the average battery life of a mini DV camcorder?

Q. Thanks

A. The batteries that are include with the new camcorders typically can last about 60 minutes - more or less depending on if you use the LCD screen, how much zooming, etc.

You should be able to get a higher capacity (look for a high number for mAh) battery for your camcorder.

best Canon vixia battery life camcorder cheap?

Q. Which of the canon vixia camcorders has good battery life. Preferably under 500 USD.

A. My ZR Canon series camcorder, using a BP2L12 battery, can record 2 X 1 1/2 hour tapes. 3 hours in total. Anything above that and I use hydro, either from my portable device or a wall socket See what i use here - http://asimplelife.ca/power.html Use a MiniDV tape camcorder as they have the best quality video of all media storage types. And get a camera with a Mic Input jack, you will want better audio than the 5 foot good audio zone most camcorders have.

how much battery life should I expect out of most standard p and s cameras?

Q. Looking for a used video/still camera. I am wondering how much battery life to expect in video mode before the battery runs out. I know it varies greatly, but I need to know what I should look for?

A. It depends on the camera - I think you already know this. Look for the highest "milli amp hours" (mAH) rating on the battery. More amp hours = more power stored in the battery. They will all be around the same. If it is that much of a concern, just get an optional rechargeable battery from the manufacturer and have it charged and ready to go. When the one in the camera is drained, replace it (and, if possible, start recharging it).

Point and shoot cameras are designed to capture still images - and can do that well. Video (and audio) is is "convenience feature". Don't expect much and you'll have great video. Expect the camera to behave like a camcorder and plan to be disappointed.

If the battery that comes with the previously owned camera you get came with the camera when it was new, it will not have as long of a image capture life as a new battery. Li-Ion batteries have a lot less of the "memory effect" (NiCads can have a huge memory effect), but over time, they all lose their ability to fully recharge like when they were new.
