Re: Battery run time
Cool David
Nice to have you here!! I have bought all my previous cameras from GMP in New Zealand and they never let me down at all. When I dumped my Panasonics earlier this year GMP's price was identical to Video Pro's in Brisbane except the Brissie guys offered me free shipping AND GST was included too so getting from GMP would have cost me a bit more. They are however very prompt and very reliable!! I got my 970's from Brisbane as well ...they did a buy one get one free deal for me cos I wrote them a nice review on their website for my first EA-50 .. I have a bunch of 750's (generic ones not Sony) that came with my video lights and they also work with the camera but I don't really need them. Yeah the 550's will not work at all according to the manual too! Chris |

Re: Battery run time
I've got 4 of them and they worked great on my PDs and my lights so I don't see any reason they won't work on your 50!
Did you get them yet?

Re: Battery run time
Whew! I got the batteries last night my only concern now is I charged one and it only read as %99 on the camera I hope it holds a charge.

Re: Battery run time
Put it in the camera, turn the camera on, let it stay on until the battery dies or you get tired of checking it. that usually happens around 3 to 4 hours. If you want to, record a static scene on the tripod just to get a more accurate record of run time.
BTW, while doing that, make sure you charge the other ones!
