Camcorder Reviews

Good product - but had to guess whether it would be compatible with my camcorder. Luckily it was.

This battery is great if you need record for a long time. I bought this battery 6 months ago as a replacement for the sony one that came with my camcorder and just didn't hold a charge anymore.

This energizer NiMH battery is great - there's no memory effect so you don't have to run it down before charging it again. On my Hi8 camcorder, I've used it for over 4 hours of recording and it had power left when I put my camcorder away.

I'd definitely recommend this battery for those who are planning on doing recording of events where multiple camcorder tapes will be used - this battery will last through a few of them. With this battery, I don't feel the need to have a backup in case it runs out because . .. well . .. it just doesn't run out.

It is a bit on the heavy side though, so if you have a smaller camcorder or if you will be handholding the camcorder for a while, I'd recommending going with slimmer battery. This adds quite a bit of weight to the camera, so be prepared to carry that weight with you wherever you go.

Overall, this battery deserves 5 stars because it does what a battery is supposed to do. Though its weight is its only issue, that can't be helped because the dense cells inside the battery are what allow the battery to hold so much charge.

Don't confuse this for the analog converters that sell for $100. I have tried all kinds of converters but this one does the job! The analog converters produce jumpy video. The only way to get rid of the jumpiness is to use the vertical hold of your TV set - the same TV set you used to watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, I should add!!! None of the TV sets manufactured over the last 20 years come with a vertical hold. In other words, don't waste your money. Spend a few extra bucks and get the right equipment for the job!

I bought one of these in 1999, through Amazon, and it has been a true performer! When I got assigned to Romania we debated buying a smaller screen multi-systen TV (at great cost) or taking our nice, new, 31" GE (NTSC) set and converting it. I just bought this converter and purchased a Philips VCR locally to act as my cable tuner (PAL). If you have a TV with audio/composite video in jacks, this will enable you to convert and view literally any video format with no problem. The image is sharp and clear, and it comes with plug in transformers for both 110V and 220V operation. It can be used with big-screen TVs of all types, and can output a NTSC or PAL signal for your television. A wonderful alternative to expensive multi-system sets, and as a side benefit you can use it to tranfer tapes from PAL to NTSC and vice versa!

I buyed this product with the help my friend in US. And it doesn't works for india PAL system. I wasted my 45 bugs.
It convert b/w picture to color from cam corder but it didn't stopeed vertical running of picture. So it's of no use for me. For india color system, it doesn't works. So I don't want rate it at all for india.

I agree to the previous comments.

Why NTSC to PAL aprox 50 u$s and PAL to NTSC 150 u$s (or more)?

If anyone knows any PAL to NTSC converter in the price range of NTSC to PAL please e-mail me (pedro.rosenfeld@t-online.de).

Can I use it to convert PAL to NTSC?
