I recently purchased a JVC GY-DV500 camera and now looking at different battery options.

I will probably need something that can power up the camera for ~5 hours of shooting.

I heard Anton Bauer makes some good batteries and was looking at some used units on ebay.

Here is a link:

What are your thoughts? What other options should I look at?

My budget is about 500$US for batteries and a charger.

Thanks in advance :-)

Have you tried B&H?

not yet, but I heard they were famous for $$$ prices :-)

Their prices are very reasonable, plus their support is A-1.
