In urgent need of a spare battery, I tried to call all DVInfo.net trusted sponsors but no luck. If anyone knows of a dealer that has batteries in stock please email me privately at info@telecamfilms.com .

Thanks.

Thierry.

Good luck... I believe everyone in the states is waiting.
Phil Bloom (London) is one of the few that received the larger battery.

Thanks to all who came to the rescue with my quest for a spare battery. I received several good leads and it looks like batteries are being delivered to dealers.

I don't know what Australia did to get special treatment (we also got both 8Gb cards with the Camera), but this Monday, the day before my EX1 arrived, I ordered a U60 battery from Melbourne, the other side of the country, and it arrived yesterday, Thursday.

Good luck over there ....

I'm still waiting for my extra batteries from a prominent NY dealer...

Got mine today Thursday... so they are shipping!

The BP-60 battery is great, I have one here and used it last week: the EX stays on forever and forever. The display claims over 315 minutes of power supply...

Regards,
Erwin

Just got my U-60 today from November back order

I received mine when I purchased my camera which they have in stock as well. Perhaps Chris will let me post where this is, he should get them to be a sponsor. I just confirmed they have several.
