Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon BP-2L14 Battery for Canon HG, HV, ZR, Optura, and Elura Camcorders
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 5 Stars
I only had occassion to use it twice, and it seems to work just fine. I heard aftermarket batteries sometimes only go a couple of times, hopefully this one will go better than that.
Works good in my HV20
Customer Review: Extra
Summary: 5 Stars
It's nice to have an extra battery. This allows you to charge one while the video camera is still in use. You don't want to get caught in the middle of a take and not have a backup battery.Customer Review: great battery
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my Canon ZR800, and it greatly increases recording time. Highly recommend.Customer Review: Perfect expansion battery for the HG-10
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this battery on the HG-10. I was originally worried that it might have been too large but now I know this is not an issue at all. It offers much more capactity being slightly larger than the original in size, but still fitting perfectly without protruding past the back of the camera. If you are thinking about a second battery for the HG-10, I would highly recommend this one.Customer Review: Excellent battery, just small
Summary: 4 Stars
As a professional cinematographer working 14+hour days, I know camera batteries. I want them to last a long time. These are well made, high quality OEM batteries. No better ones exist. However, I wish they made bigger, longer life batteries for the HV-20. I guess this small size is a compromise to keep the camera small and for the fact that the vast majority of users will only need a couple of hours of juice at a time. On the other hand, if you need to shoot all day, you'll need to buy at least two or more batteries, also turn off the camera frequently, fold up the LCD screen, use the non-orientable viewfinder, change batteries several times, etc, etc,. This even more so if you are in a cold environment.
Its a hassle, but one I'm used to and can deal with. My last camcorder had a HUGE battery and it would work all day and so I'm spoiled.
Also I went with Canon, and their higher price, because the cheap off-brand batts available worry me about their quality, and life times. The cheaper price was not enough for the risk. If anything happened to damage the camera, say faulty wiring, you are in a much better position warranty-wise, if everything is OEM.
