 Recommended - if you need the freedom December 16, 2008

I bought the NP-FH100 battery for my SONY HDR-HC9 camcorder, when the supplied battery let me down after shooting only 30 minutes of video during a unique sporting event, missing the end of it.
I seriously considered buying two smaller SONY NP-FH60 batteries instead of this big one. I did not consider un-branded "compatible" batteries, as I have found through bitter experience that those can be a false economy.
The FH100's indicated capacity in the HC9 is about 6 hours in camera mode or about 8 hours in replay mode using the LCD screen, or more without it, which gives freedom from concern about running the battery down.
This battery increases the overall length of the camcorder somewhat, but the HC9's eyepiece can be extended to take care of that.
For normal use this battery is probably overkill. However used together with the camcorder's supplied battery as backup, it allowed me to get away from it all for several days, reviewing my results daily without worrying about running short of 'juice'.
Although pricey, if you need the flexibility and freedom this battery gives it is excellent. Hence 5 stars.

Though this is quite expensive, I purchased it to go with my Sony - DCR-SR35 Camcorder. Fully charged, this battery gives over 700 minutes of recording/playback. This is great for holidays - meant that I didn't have to recharge it once over a 2 week trip.
