What would you recommend for a MiniDV Camcorder that’s compatible with mac?


I’m looking to buy a digital camcorder – miniDV, preferrably one that’s less than $400. What are some good camcorders for that price range and that will be compatible with my mac (iBook G4, iMovie ‘05)? It has to take great videos of course (I don’t care too much about still images) and have a long-lasting battery life.

Thanks

I starred your question because I was about to buy one.

I chose the JCV GR-D770. It works great… I got it online at
best buy… I paid 259 on sale and got a free tripod.

It works perfectly with my mac g5.

It has a 1 hour battery life (about standard for mini dv cams)

I love it.

Great Price

by J. Jorgensen from on 2010-07-31
This is a great battery at a great price. Great spare for Sony cams. Other brands don’t last as long.


Cant seem to get it to fit

by Julia from on 2010-07-12
I just bought the Sony Handycam DCR-SX63 and cant seem to get this new battery to fit so im returning it


Not too big, just right!

by The tester from Fort Dodge, IA USA on 2010-07-02
Good normal use battery. Gets about 150 mins (2.5 hrs. HQ HD) record time, and 240 mins.(4hrs) play time on the Sony HDR CX100 camcorder. This battery sticks out about an inch from the camera, which is okay for the record time you get. So I would say this is the ideal battery size for most people. Not too big and not too small, just right! This battery lasts almost 3 times as long as the NP-FH50 that came with the camcorder. For the price I paid on amazon, I highly recommend this battery.


Sony NPFH70 camcorder battery

by RajK from on 2010-06-23
I bought this battery as a spare battery for my Sony HDR-XR500V camcorder. When fully charged it only showed 153 minutes of charge remaining (not the 270 minutes or 4.5 hrs claimed on the package) as compared to the 99 minutes for the stock NPFH-60 battery that came with the camcorder. This was disappointing and I hope it does not get any worse with usage. The size of the battery was no bigger. Since I paid a much discounted price with the Amazon marketplace seller, this is not a bad deal.


Awesome performer!

by S. Bernier from San Francisco Bay Area on 2010-05-02
I bought this battery to use with my Sony DCR-SX41 on a 7 day cruise. I fully charged the battery in the hotel room the night before we sailed. I used my camera every day and recorded a little more than 10GB of video ~ all on one charge! Awesome. Amazing. Love this little guy!

Video camera battery

by Kocotogo from on 2010-07-10
Great battery! I purchased this as a spare so I could charge one battery while using another. This is identical to the original battery and holds the same charge. Great buy!


Just what I needed

by Ashley Brauer from Beverly Hills ,CA USA on 2010-05-22
I thought this is what I needed to get my camera working without being plugged in.. unfortunately it wasn’t the problem, so I’ll have to take it in and see why it won’t work with a battery. Oh well. Transaction was easy and great deal.


Rechargeable Battery for JVC Everio

by New Gramma from Florida on 2010-03-21
Had a problem finding a battery for my new JVC Everio Camcorder. Numbers on camcorder didn’t cross reference with numbers at Batteries Plus or other web sites. When I was able to see a photo of the actual battery, I knew it was the correct one. I ordered it, received it in a timely fashion and am happy with the price and the product

the right item delivered on time

by Qiang Sun from on 2010-07-29
So far it works well together with my Canon IS1300 camera, a good deal for the backup battery.


Works fine

by D. Bergerson from Catonsville MD on 2010-07-27
The battery seems to be an excellent backup for the Canon product. It fits fine in the camera (the Canon 1200) and the charger; other reviews said they had difficulty with the non-Canon product being the wrong size, but I didn’t have that problem. Good price and it came fast. (I’ve seen replacement batteries in stores for $29!)


Solid

by Mark Alsip from Kentucky, USA on 2010-07-25
I was impressed by the price when I made the purchase, and the recharge rate after I’d made the purchase. If only my Canon D10 underwater camera had worked as well as this battery :-(


DOES work in my SD1200IS… like a charm!

by Anonymous from on 2010-07-19
I was not going to write a product review for this, but after stumbling upon the negative reviews I figured I might as well add something. I purchased the “Maximal Power DB CAN NB-6L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras/Camcorders” in July of 2009 for my Canon SD1200IS. I have not experienced any problem whatsoever with this battery. My battery looks exactly like the amazon (not the user) picture shown: white wrapper, gray battery. It slides in and out of the camera like the original battery. The wrapper is not as tightly wrapped and glued around the battery as I would like, though it is no worse than the original Canon one in that respect. Or in any respect, for that matter: I cannot tell any difference between batteries. I seem to get the same amount of pictures/time out of a charge. Admittedly, I didn’t run any specific tests to prove this, so all I can say is that, if there are any performance differences, they are unnoticeable, even to a critical user like me. The camera itself doesn’t seem to ‘care’ it’s a non-Canon battery at all. Great back up, especially for the price!


A bit too large at first, but easily fixed

by Gene Lee from Atlanta, GA on 2010-07-18
Like many other reviewers stated, this battery seemed a bit too large to fit into the battery compartments of both my Canon S90 and D10. I would really have to wiggle it quite a bit to fit completely in, and then had a hell of a time getting the battery out because it fit so snugly. I figured out that the plastic label that wraps around the battery wasn’t quite stuck on completely, so I really pushed down on the label going all the way around to get it to stick flat on the actual battery. No problems since then- slides in and out of both camera compartments just like the original Canon battery that came with the cameras. Great value for the price as a spare back-up.

Good but expensive

by Riles from on 2010-07-18
Seems to be original Canon battery. As such, it is somewhat expensive. I can’t help but wonder if an aftermarket battery would do the job?

Not Canon Batteries when Ordering From Eforcity

by Kawshek from on 2010-07-10
THIS IS NOT A SLAM AGAINST CANON OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. The OEM Canon batteries are excellent. I was a victim of a “bait-and-switch” (as were others) by Amazon and Eforcity. I “assumed” I was getting the BP511A Canon OEM battery when I ordered off what I thought was an Amazon webpage. What happened is that I got shuffled over to Eforcity’s webpage. On there was a picture of a Canon BP511A OEM battery in a bubble pack with Canon written all over it. The specs matched my current Canon batteries so I ordered two. I should have been leery of the price, but I ordered anyway. A few days later I get a package from Eforcity. Out pops two Chinese brand x knock-offs! They had a label saying BP511 and the specs were different. There was no way I was going to use these in my Canon cameras. I contacted Amazon immediately. They in turn contacted Eforcity who sent me an email asking if I wanted replacements or a refund. I wrote them a nasty email back claiming bait-and-switch and so on, but never heard back from them. I then contacted Amazon who promptly refunded my money. I was asked to write a review on my experience with Eforcity. When I read other reviews about them, it looked like there was a lot of bait-and-switch going on with that company. BUYER BEWARE!


Not what i ordered

by Vickie Gaumer from on 2010-07-06
It was listed as a canon BP511A 1390mAH It is not a canon, it is a knock off with 2300mAH. I cannot mix this with my battery because of the mAH difference. It works by itself but not as a pair.


Avoid off-brand third-party batteries . . .

by Robert E. Glasscock from on 2010-07-05
It’s false economy to risk no-name third-party batteries in your expensive Canon. This is a great price.

i bought this as a second battery for my sony alpha dslr camera. It arrived as advertised in original packaging.

The item was 40% cheaper on Amazon that at Best Buy, and it arrived within 3 days due to the proximity of the warehouse where I live even though it shipped for free.


Great deal on an OEM product!

by swcooper from on 2010-07-15
Bought this Sony battery for my wife’s new sony digital slr camera and it was a fraction of the price of what Sonystyle and our local Best Buy store was asking. Received it very promptly before we left for vacation and took A LOT of pictures and the battery worked perfect. Could not ask for a better deal anywhere!


Same Battery – Great Price

by G. Smith from Parker, CO on 2010-07-03
For this price I thought it was an off-brand equivalent battery. But it is exactly the same as the one that came with my camera. My camera is a Sony DSC-HX1 and this is the battery for this camera. It sounds like this battery works with other devices as well.

The Good Battery

by J. Harwig from LITTLETON, Co USA on 2010-07-05
The battery that ships with most Canon Camcorders will not last very long. This is the one you want, this battery will give you 3-4 hrs of record time. Takes a couple of hours to charge.


Product Was New and worked as it should

by P. Ngo from Clearwater, FL on 2010-06-15
The Battery is awesome, provides much more battery life than the stock one. It doesn’t jut out as much as I thought it would. Great buy.


Canon OEM Product Not Cheap but worth it!

by Darcy D. Long from on 2010-06-06
This is the battery that should come with the Canon Vixia HF200. I can get almost 4+ hours if recording time with this OEM battery. Pricey but that’s what you get when you purchase OEM batteries, but they work like they are suppose too. I recommend this as your primary battery and use after market ones for backups. Those home videos of the family and vacations are too valuable to chance on after market batteries alone.


Works great in Canon HF10

by Nathan Godfrey from on 2010-04-08
This battery works in my Canon HF10 as specified. It does stick out the back of the camera about an inch/inch and a quarter, but the battery life it adds is worth it.


Pricey, but a must have!

by Dennis R. Birchenough from on 2010-04-06
I just bought this and paired it with the lastest Canon Vixia M31 camera. (Read my review…this is a great camera for those that don’t want something cheapo and yet can’t afford a $4k camcorder but want something just as solid!)

The Canon Vixia M31 is pretty ultra-light. It’s very light when matched with the battery that comes with it and even with the BP-827 battery, it’s still light enough to barely notice. One of my main concerns was, “Is this ‘large’ battery going to weigh a ton?”. Not at all. Are you going to get fatigued or need to go to the gym? Absolutely not. The total weight of the camera and the battery is like that of a small soup can. Technology is really amazing me!!

*Note that this camera uses flash memory and not a Hard drive.* The battery that comes with the M31, when turned on after a fresh recharge, shows 98 minutes of battery time. The actual “real world” time you’ll get will be dependent upon how much your zooming, re-playing recordings and overall “on” time. One could expect to have, safely, 60 minutes of recording time.

The Canon BP-827, after a fresh charge, shows 314 minutes (5hrs 14 mins) worth of battery. The same cavet applies from above, and one could expect a solid 4hrs of recording time during real usage.

Yes, the battery is pricey ($120) but the fact is: You ARE going to run out of battery when you consider how long most events you’ll be recording are. Soccer games, European trips, weddings, high school graduations, etc. 1hr of battery is just not going to cut it for the majority of situations. The M31’s included 1hr battery will make a great backup battery to give you an extra hour of recording.

I decided on the Canon brand battery despite there being “generic/cheaper” ones out there. I was just very wary of the fact that they are built to possibly different specs, may/may not be able to be charged while in the camera, if it has logic that stops it from charging once it reaches a full charge and may not be able to handle a large quantity of recharges. Canon is a solid brand that I completely trust. It’s up to you if you want to roll the dice.

It’s really hard to tell how big the battery is just from the pictures here. When I got the battery out of the box, I almost thought I ordered the wrong thing because it was TINY! Of course, my M31 hadn’t arrived yet, so I wasn’t sure how big the original was. It’s about 2.5 times longer than the orginal battery, which is incredibly tiny.

The larger battery does stick out from the back of the camera about 2″, but doesn’t impede any of the functions. To start/stop recording, your thumb, which would normally glide right across the back to the button, does have to go “around” the larger battery, but it’s not a big deal.

Also, some may think the larger battery jutting out doesn’t look as “sleek” or “cool”. I think it looks fine. The battery is a nice matte black, with rounded edges and fits well, in my opinion. What doesn’t look sleek or cool to me is having to carry around 3-4 extra batteries and stopping to swap out your dead battery every hour just so it looks “cool”. That’s gonna get old, really quick!

I also got the external charger, Canon CG-800, also a bit pricey for my tastes at $50. From what I’ve read, the charger cuts recharging time down about an hour. Besides, as you’re battery is off to the side charging, you can still walk around and record with your backup battery. Otherwise, you’ll be tethered to the wall as your battery charges directly inside the camera. Definitely check that out as well.

On the upside, if/when you upgrade the camera, if you stick with the Canon Vixia line, your batteries and charger will still work and it will be one less thing you’ll have to purchase later.

All in all, I’m very happy with this product and purchase, even despite it’s high cost. Somethings, you just have to spend the money on because they are necessary evils.

Very good battery

by Nuknuk from Springfield, VA United States on 2010-04-07
This lithium-ion battery pack is rated for 1050mAH at 3.7V. Made in China.

Be mindful that the 2 hours is just for the most ideal situation. That is if you will shoot continuously without pausing or turning off the camera. In real life situation, you will be pausing after every clip and still your LCD will be on for a minute. I only get an hour and a few minutes more in normal use. Still, this battery is decent and not one of those cheapos that advertise with a gazillion mAhs but never deliver.

Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Camera Battery

It was much cheaper than buying one from Sony. It was not a generic battery, which I was worried about. I bought a battery, from someone else, that was supposed to be an original, but it was a fake and once I got it in the camera, I had to pry it out. This one seems to be working fine. I haven’t had it that long so I don’t know about the battery life, yet.


Good quality for the money

by R. Gosebruch from Germering on 2010-03-30
The battery purchased with the camcorder 5 years ago slowed down a little and got upon recharge only 90 min. of recording time.
This new Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium battery I purchased now came fully charged with recording time of 140 min.Price was absolutely OK. That’s very good. So far I’m fully satisfied. And – delivery was fast!
Thanks


This is a Non-Sony battery pack

by GK from Minneapolis, MN USA on 2010-03-11
The title of this item says it is Sony NP-FM50 InfoLithium Battery, but what you are going to receive is a no name equivalent battery pack. The battery is not from Sony and does not have the same power ratings as that of the original battery that came with my camcorder. No where on the battery or on the box I find the name ‘Sony’. The battery pack that I received is SN-NP-FM50/55H and was shipped to me by Eforcity. This very same no name battery pack is sold by this seller on amazon for $6.15 and I paid $17.82 + S&H.

So anyone planning to buy this item, beware, you are NOT going to get a Sony battery.

I tried charging this battery, it stopped charging at 155 mins and would not say the charge is full like the original did. I unplugged the power cord and plugged it back again after couple of mins. without using any battery power, the battery started charging again from 125 mins.

When contacted seller, I got an email asking if I would like a refund or replacement, but would not say if the replacement is going to be a original battery.


This is not a SONY battery

by Gregoire Arranz from Stony Brook, NY United States on 2010-02-26
The battery I received is NOT a SONY battery, but a “for SN-NP-FM50/55H” battery. I still have not been able to figure out the chinese manufacturer behind this copy. Who is responsible if this thing blows up in my hand?

Did not check the performance yet, but feel cheated by the product description. Would welcome comments from vendor.


This is NOT a Sony battery!

by Karl Cepull from on 2010-02-25
BEWARE! Even though the title of this item is “Sony NPFM50 InfoLithium Battery”, it is NOT a Sony battery. It is a no-name knock-off. This company is lying to its customers and trying to sell you a cheaper battery under the guise of a the Sony brand name. I’m not sure how to report this to both Amazon and Sony, but this is “bait-and-switch” at its best. The battery arrived in an un-marked box, and “Sony” was not on the box nor the battery. I have a real Sony battery (that came with my camcorder), and this is NOT it!

When pushed to ship me what I had ordered (a true Sony battery), all the company would do is refund my money.

Great Product

by Michael Stevenson from Calif, USA on 2010-07-16
In my opinion the battery is big but it doesnt add to much weight to the camara. My camara says i have about 243 minutes of recording time, for me i never have to worry about running out of battery especially if you charge it every night.i have the sony HDR-HC5 h.d. camara. its a must!!


Greatttttt battery, Amazon purchase.

by Billie from on 2010-07-12
Have had for only a month,haven’t recharged it yet,still says over 200 minutes left on charge.


Cheap knock-off! Beware!

by VLADIMIR YAKOBCHUK from on 2010-07-03
This is not genuine sony battery. It’s a cheap chinese knock-off. If battery doesn’t have 1-800… number in the circle in the back it’s not sony battery. Please BEWARE!. I bought and after about 3-4 months my camcorder stopped recognizing the battery.


Satisfied!

by James from on 2010-05-27
I bought this battery for my new sony camcorder hdr-XR500 and it works great and shows exactly the time that I can record just like it said on the product packaging itself. So far, I haven’t had time to use it but looks like the only downside to this is that battery is very BIG. But since it’s the best longest battery out there in the market for my sony camcorder, I’d say stick with this


Good power

by R. Fritz from Germany on 2010-05-10
Very large capacity battery. Battery meter on the Handycam said it should last for 400 minutes when I first put it on. I have no reason to believe that it wouldn’t.

Perfect Purchase

by I’m from Chicago area on 2010-02-06
I was looking for a reasonably-priced spare battery for my daughter’s new camera, and this product filled the bill perfectly. Holds its charge for a long time.


Great Battery

by Johnny Miami from Carmel NY on 2009-12-16
Picked this up as a back-up battery for my Cannon. Have used it many times and its amazing….long battery life and cheaper than a “Cannon” battery. Defiantly a must have for any photographer.


Cheap at twice the price

by Swifty from on 2009-09-03
it works every bit as good as the battery supplied with the camera. ‘Nuff said.


I loved the price but not the product

by Carlos Teixeira from on 2009-02-08
I left this battery charging for 3 days and the red light on the charger never turned green. It still works on the camera, but it’s nothing compared to the original battery.


Better than the Canon

by Daniel King from Inland Empire CA on 2009-01-27
This battery lasts twice as long as the Canon battery. It was meant as back up but spends more time in the camera as it take much longer to drain than the Canon battery does.
