Works great on Panasonic PV-GS320, and cheap too! |
Pros:
- This Digital Concepts BP-DU21-R battery has worked great with my Panasonic PV-GS320, no charging issues at all.
- Has routinely worked fine for 5 or more hours on a charge. Non-original manufacturer batteries typically don't last as long on a charge, so this battery has been a pleasant surprise.
- Really cheap price. I also have a Lenmar LIP21 (from Marketadvisory) that costs 4X the price, and after 2 years of use, they perform essentially identically. I haven't done rigorous tests to determine if they last exactly the same amount of time per charge, because I have never managed to drain either of them in a day of use, so as far as I'm concerned, the Digital Concepts wins easily due to price.
Cons:
- It is a large battery, so will add a bit of weight to your camcorder. But given the increase in hours per charge over the panasonic included battery, the benefit is well worth the extra weight.

Very good |
You can buy this product, I recommended - at least if you have a Panasonic digital camcorder as I do.
No problems or issues to relate. |

LONG Lasting Battery! Great Value! Highly Recommended |
The "Digital Concepts DU21" battery is one of the best values for the Panasonic PV-GS320 3.1MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom we have found!
The battery is physically very large and prevents easy use of the camera's viewfinder, but since it last 3 to 4 hours of intermittent use with the LCD it really isn't an important consideration for me.
Highly recommended! |

Lots of shoot time for the buck |
I bought this battery for my Panasonic PV-GS320
It fits and last A LOT longer than the factory battery that came with it. I have never timed it, but it lasts for my typical day of shooting. (I don't use the big screen much.)
And -- it pleases me very much -- it was way way cheaper than the one someone tried to sell me at a retail outfit.
However:
1) It sticks out a ridiculous amount on my camera. (but is still usable after I adjust the focus on the eye piece)
2) It split apart along the seam.
I think this was because of the leverage from sticking out so much. However, some "model airplane" glue fixed it right up.

Great value - NOT Digital Concepts brand though |
This is a great value for a camcorder battery. I haven't used it to exhaustion so I don't know about the rated battery life, but at the price I paid it was well worth it. Similar batteries run upwards of $40-50.
I got the battery quickly. One caveat, it is NOT the Digital Concepts battery as advertised, it is a Chinese knockoff brand called CTA. |
