"a camcorder to love and keep"

by robertobiggio on March 31, 2006

Pros: video light; sd card; long bat; great pix; nice video

Cons: too thick to grip
Summary: i purchased one elura 100 from dell.com when it went on sale $325; the design is very compact, with battery under the lcd, open /eject button on the top, overall it is a smart design. on the performance, the still picture quality is startling good, at 1.33m it close to a digital camera picture; sd card feature is a great addition, i recorded 48 minutes out of 512mb sandisk sd mini card. video is just ok for viewing on computer. it blurs when changes to full screen. but 100% original size looks very nice. of course, if u use mini dv tape, then video palyback on tv is going to be fabulous. the one feature makes this camcorder stands out to others is two video lights for low light or dak condition, very bright light by the side of lens. battery life is 150m, compare to 90m of canon zr600. the only con is camcorder is thick that the back of my hands hurts by holding 5 minutes. i highly recommend this camcorder, same price as zr 700, and $50 more than zr600, it worthes every penny and this camcorder is much better than zr700 or zr600, i bought the zr600 and now have to ebay it.

Don't know what you are talking about. Both are rated at 850mAh, the only difference is that the BP-208DG is dark gray and blends more into the camera body of the Elura 100.

Sounds like you either didn't fully charge your BP-208 battery or you received a defective one. You might want to try to exchange it.
