I used this battery on my recent dive trip. As an underwater videographer it is important to have battery time as I can't just get out of the water and change the battery when it runs out. I need to have a battery that will give me a full charge for as long as I am in the water and this one really delivers. I found that the FP50 that came with my camcorder would only last 2 dives before it needed to be charged but this FP71 could last 4-5.

I bought this for my DCR-DVD403. The original battery was an NP-FP70 which might last for a good day of shooting and previewing video. The new and improved NP-FP71 battery claims to have 20 percent greater capacity than the OEM battery. My informal tests based on charging and use found this battery to be exactly the same as the NP-FP70. The info lithium reads 135minutes capacity with a full charge. That is only a five minute improvement over the OEM battery. Not worth the extra cost. In fact the battery seems to run down quicker. Overall this is not worse than the NP-FP70, but certainly not a big improvement.

works great with my hdr-hc3. at a full charge it says 190 minutes compared to 120 minutes with the standard battery. also note that this battery is exactly the same size as the battery it comes with but it just lasts longer. if i didnt already get this one, i would get the even longer lasting battery

I used this battery on a vacation to France. I didn't have to use my spare at all. It gave me plenty of power, about 150min. It doesn't seem to take very long to charge, and it doesnt seem like it's too big either. Get it!

The increased shooting time with this battery over the FP50 that came with my camcorder is considerable, am considering ordering another.

Got this as a replacement for the factory battery. Good idea to have two.
This one works great. Had this same type for my last camcorder and was
very happy. Great buy!

I used this to shoot a wedding. Lasted more than 2 hours and gave me peace of mind over the battery that came with the camera.

Great price and great product for frequent flyer or in a amusement park for the whole day and there is no output to charge your camcorders - it is good have a spare battery for your PSP. It claims that it work 4-5 hours reality it gives you between 3-4 hours life. Works great.

I bought this battery for an expedidtion. I already had a standard battery and an extended battery and there is such a big difference. The info lithium remaining battery time is very accurate and certainly helpful.

Have used for 2 months and very pleased with battery life and performance.
