Genuine Parts Please
I ordered in two Sony NPF970 batteries for my HVR-Z7 this week. I must have a collection of 6 Sony batteries which work with this camera, some up to 10 years old and barely working, and another 3 from a third party manufacturer.

64 Gigabytes of Freedom
EX1 loaded with 2 x 32GB cards. At High Quality that gives just under 4 hours of recording time. At Standard Quality it is closer to 5 hours.
