Strengths: Lasts 3+ hours, size, charge time
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Hey, it's a quality battery and does what it should.
It lasts for over 3 hours and charges fairly fast. It is the "mid-size" offered. There is a larger one but it sticks out a bit too much from camcorder which might be a problem fitting it in a case - the reason I got this one (and a second as backup).
Beware of substitutes - they are not always of the same quality and "InfoLithium" compatible with a Sony camcorder.
I've always used Sony batteries with Sony camcorders and never had a problem.

Strengths: Slim size.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: This is a nice additional battery to have with your Sony HD camera. Biggest strength of this is that even though it last 50% more than the standard battery provided by Sony with the Camera, it is almost of the same thickness so it does not protrude too much out of the camera and you can carry it in the smallest case easily.

Strengths: Size, longer life
Weaknesses: Cost
Summary: This battery is the same physical size as the NP-FH60 that came with my HDR-SR11 camcorder. What’s nice about that is it doesn't get in the way if you try to use the viewfinder. Although it’s the same size, it extends the battery life from about 1.5 hrs to 2.5 hrs. I would avoid any generic batteries. Most of the generic's have a wire coming out of the battery and may be larger and heavier then this battery. Plus, not sure how accurate the “battery charge level” feature would be with a generic.

Strengths: Exactly the same size as the NP-FH60 that came with the HDR-SR11 so it doesn't stick out beyond the end of the camera.
Weaknesses: None so far - only time will tell if it holds up.
Summary: Not much to say about a battery, works as expected. Original NP-FH60 was spec'd at 7.2v, 7.2Wh, This one is spec'd at 6.8v and 12.2Wh. In HDR-SR11, a freshly fully charged the NP-FH60 says 95 minutes of runtime; a freshly fully charged NP-FH70 say 151 minutes of runtime. I've read these times are quite model dependent.
Purchased from Amazon for $65, Best Buy price was $99.

Strengths: Longer Life
Weaknesses: NP Version has none. Note that the BP Version sold as a replacement is BULKY
Summary: 2007-08-06 15:39:45 NP - This battery has given me approx 40% more recording time than the original NP-FH60 that I received with a Sony camcorder. The size is identical to the original battery, and the weight is 3.3 oz as opposed to the 2.8 oz of the original (FH60). The weight difference is not noticeable when attached to the camera, a dcr-sr300. Shop around for this item as prices vary widely. Note that the BP version is rated at 2300mAh but is considerably larger (projects out futher from the rear of a camcorder. 1 11/16 inches deep) It's curious that it only weighs 3.0 oz. This model comes with an auxiliary power cord that the instructions say that is for attaching to a FH series Handicam. This model is imported and warrented by Sakar.com. Received this item recently and haven't had time to test battery life.

Strengths: Versatile. Adds many hours of recording
Weaknesses: Does not come with a battery cap - for use when detached
Summary: This battery is beautiful and definitely makes one to record with peace of mind. It does not excessively add to the weight of the camcorder I intend to use it for.

Strengths: Extra Battery life, quick and fast recharge
Weaknesses: Size but not noticable when attached to camcorder.
Summary: This is a must have add-on to the Sony Camcorder. It provides extra battery life to the camcorder and it recharges very easily. I could get upto about 200 mins of extra charge time with High Definition recording. The battery recharges really quick and an external quick recharger can be considered as an extra add-on. A bit extra space requirement for the battery but not noticable when attached to camcorder.

Strengths: batter life, quick charge
Weaknesses: size
Summary: Great upgrade for a camera. The life of the include battery is lacking so this battery is a great step up. It looks a little bulky sticking off the end of the camera, but a few extra hours is nice. It also charges really quick.

Strengths: Extra Long Battery Life
Weaknesses: None
Summary: If you are going to record for a long time, you definitely have to buy one of these. After reading reviews I thought it was too big but when you attach it to the camera it is fine.

Strengths: This battery works great for more than 3 hours of use. I use it for my Sony MiniDV. This last so much longer than the battery that comes with the camcorder.
Weaknesses: The size of the battery is the only weakness I can see.
Summary: Battery works great and it last a very long time. It also charges pretty quickly. It has worked great on vacations and not having to worry about the camcorder battery running out is definitely worth the price of this battery. This battery can be purchased for about $60 from Amazon which is a great deal and much cheaper than local retail stores.

Strengths: Genuine Sony Battery. Long battery Life
Weaknesses: Size
Summary: 2007-12-02 06:25:12 This is a great battery. Considerably larger than the stock battery sold with the camera but is pretty much unnoticeable when using the camera. @360 minutes on a full charge. A real benefit when on a day trip and frequent re-charging is not an option. This battery is a must have accessory.
