I'm not sure what comes with the cam. BP-310 only or BP-310+Charger?

But i want to know if there's any 1hr+ battery, that i can use with the CA-570 ( i supposue is included )

thanks.

Roberto, the CA-570 and a BP-310 battery is included in the kit. If you buy a BP-315 you got 135 min with LCD or 140 min with viewfinder. The BP-315 will fit into the CA-570 charger.

Can you recommend a cheaper Canon BP-315 equivalent, that will not hurt the Cam ?

Thanks in advance....

Well, search for Lenmar LIC-315, claimed to be BP-315 equivalent. You use third part accessories on your own risk!

I'm quoting myself! The CA-570 is not a charger by itself but you plug it in to the camcorder to charge the battery!

I bought 2 non-Canon BP315 replacements for 23.95 each, including shipping, from batterybarn.com. Ordered on Dec 11, received today. Got one charging now, so can't report on performance yet. :) BTW, they're 7.4v, 2000 mAh.
