G gideon Member May 11, 2009 #1 How long does it take for the battery to go out of power in video mode ?
C ChipG Carbonite Member May 11, 2009 #2 The USA manual says 120 minutes, they do charge fairly quick, I think in about 3 hours. B&H sells batteries for $69.95 each.

Refer to Panasonic's global website (first few paragraphs): http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gh1/movie.html The "120-min." rating is in reference to the GH1 recording in a specific video mode and with specific caveats; refer to link above, and: http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/popup/sd_memory_card/gh1.html Kholi has reported that he's getting good life out of the GH1 battery he's using, but in general, when it comes to _any_ cam's battery life, YMWDV* * Your mileage will definitely vary!
