Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon BP-2L14 Battery for Canon HG, HV, ZR, Optura, and Elura Camcorders (Retail Packaging)
Customer Review: Exceptional performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this battery at the end of 12/07 and writing this review at the end of 5/08.
This is a product of exceptional quality. The unit is made in Japan, unlike the batteries of Chinese manufacture that comes with the Canon video cameras these days (mine is the HV20). Whether the difference in quality between a China-made battery and a Japan-made battery is perception or real, I don't know. I prefer made in Japan stuff, due to their high quality control and reliability.
This battery has high energy retention. I was surprised to find out that after 5 months in storage, this battery showed up as 100% charged on the OSD (on-screen display) of my camera. Pick one or two of these up as a spare. I am quite happy with this purchase.
Customer Review: Double the Power
Summary: 5 Stars
With about twice the capacity (and physical size) of the stock battery supplied with the compatible Canon camcorders, the BP-2L14 offers extended filming time that on a single charge will exceed the capacity of a digital tape cartridge, even if using the LCD screen instead of the viewfinder.
Although the BP-2L14 is larger than the battery it replaces at about an inch thick (just about double the thickness), the added size doesn't interfere with filming or carrying of the camera. Rather than carrying around a handful of the lower-capacity NB-2LH's, add a BL-2L14 or two to your inventory instead.
Customer Review: Best battery !
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't waste your time and money to get something 'similar' as Canon.
Only Canon battery will give you over an hour time!
I bought @ Amazon from other vendors non-canon made battery claiming more mA per battery and almost twice the size, but they last less that 30 minutes. Total waste of money on a non-Canon made battery.
I use this as a pro videographer and have to last as long as the tape in the machine.
It was cheaper here then anywhere else for the same battery.
Customer Review: Wow, strong battery!
Summary: 5 Stars
Seemed expensive when I bought this battery, but now I know why...fully charged it lasts for a couple of standard tapes. No stress about the battery running out in the middle of something important. It is a very large battery compared to the Canon battery that came with the camcorder which is a small problem.
Very happy I bought the Canon brand. Had it for over two years and it is still going strong.
Good luck.
Customer Review: Long lasting
Summary: 5 Stars
Decided to get this battery to utilize the original battery as a spare. However, with this battery, we never needed a spare. On a recent trip to Hawaii, this is the only one we used. Through long days at Diamond Head, Waikiki, the Dole Pineapple Plantation, Polynesian Cultural Center, and a day trip to the Big Island, this battery never ran low. Recharging at day's end was the only thing needed.
Great performance.
