Sony Camcorder Battery

Advantages: It can hold a very good charge
Disadvantages: None

...I love these batteries because Sony have made most of their camcorders compatible with this battery. This meant that when I got my new camcorder for Christmas this year I was then able to transfer my old battery for a back-up. I have bought so many of these batteries because I do a lot of sightseeing. I have also choose this battery over any other because it holds an extremely good charge. I had came across times when I was standing in front of a ...
...that experience any holidays, or events I got to I always bring at least one spare, charged battery as well as my own. I have never had any problems with these batteries and I only have good things to say about them. The battery can be purchased for around 15-20 pounds and this is not really expensive for a battery of this quality. I would recommend that you purchase one if you like to make films because as you know any camcorder battery can run ...

Review of Sony InfoLithium H Series NP-FH50 Lithium Ion

Canon - It blew me out of the water!

Advantages: Long lasting, VG quality, trusted brand.
Disadvantages: The price and the delivery.

...battery pack came with my Canon MVX300 camcorder, and it gives me around 2 hours recording time. Now, with multiple charges and uses, I noticed that the battery packs recording time was slowly getting shorter and shorter with each use. Considering that we have been to many weddings, birthday parties and christenings, the camcorder has had loads of use. I'm surprised it's even lasted this long to be honest. I didn't want to throw away a perfectly ...
...so I took a trip down to my local Jessops, in hope of finding a new one. Unfortunately for me, they didn't actually have one in stock at that time. So my friendly sales assistant suggested that I tried their website. When I asked about the price, to be honest I was rather shocked. They quoted me £45.99 - I really could not believe it. To ask me to pay that price for just a simple battery, I was almost insulted. I thought that they were having a ...

Review of Canon NB 2LH Lithium Ion

8mm Tapes are so last year!

Advantages: Good quality tapes that will work and last
Disadvantages: Very dated with better SD Card or Hard Drive options

...rock your boat, then the Sony tapes work a treat. There are two kinds of Sony 8mm tapes, the 60 minute (Pack of 3 = £11.99) and 90 minute (Pack of 3 = £21.99) and weigh about 200g per tape. These are lightweight and portable and come in sealed plastic casing with good design covering. You can trust the Sony brand as a leading manufacturer in the video and audio market. The quality of the product is excellent and durable. It will fit snugly into ...
...this and have never forgiven myself. If you need to buy 8 mm tapes then Sony is about as good as you can get. However, perhaps this may give you push to update your camcorder. After all in a few years time, this product could well be obsolete. ...

Review of Sony 8mm Camcorder Tape

Its a bag that does what you expect

Advantages: Light and compact.
Disadvantages: Style points are lacking

Nothing to get too excited about this. It compares to many other similar products but is noticeble in being very light weight and fits snuggly over the shoulder. Plenty of room for camcorder, cables, spare battery packs and discs / memory cards. Even then, there is sufficient room to add a slim digital camera. The style is okay but not inspiring. However, the price is good (about £13.00) for what you get and you can expect durability. Most importantly, ...
...high level of shock protection. Weather protection is an important feature and I would be happy to have this on my shoulder in the rain wihout fear of the camera getting wet. However, I would'nt leave it outside of a tent etc whist camping. Security is also fine. Straps will not break. Worth a buy, ...

Review of Technika Camcorder Bag

Utilitarian case by JVC

Advantages: light, spacious, handy, good material
Disadvantages: no velcro compartments

JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder also known as "reporter bag" INTRO With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with ...
...conclusion, this soft case by JVC is quite useful, can be either used for camcorders, medium-sized cameras but also as a "holiday bag". It doesn't have too many compartments but if you need something more spacious than a compact camera case this might attract your attention. What I could point out as possible let-down is the absence of internal padding commonly to be found in camera bags, the inside, instead is a plastic soft sheet waterproof-like. ...
