I purchased 2 "spare batteries" for my R300. They work, but they do not register on the camera. You have to say "yes" when asked on turn on about using these batteries and then the charge condition doesn't show in the camera. BUT this battery adds almost an hour of video if you carry 2 with you. It works fine for my purposes. I use is for my TV News show

Yes, I bought one and it works fine. It does not show up on the view finder.Bob

The battery works but does not register with the camera so there is no indication as to how much charge remains so I use it as a backup when needed.

Technically speaking, according to Canon specs at their site, the VIXIA HF S20 accepts the follow ad-on Canon batteries:BP-827, BP-809(B), BP-819, BP-808, BP-809(S).With that in mind, the Maxtek 4.5hr Rechargeable Battery For Canon states it supports the BP-827, BP827(Extended Capacity of BP-808 809 819).So the answer is yes, this battery would in fact be compatible with your VIXIA HF S20.

No, according to Canon's website I don't believe this model will work for a Vixia R400.

It should work but it does not. I have a Canon camera and the batteries did not fit. I tried charging my existing batteries and the did not fit. I suggest, not to buy.

Mary, According to the Canon website, the BP-727 high capacity battery is compatible with the Vixia HF R300. It has definitely lasted longer for us.

I have an HS30 and it didn't work. I ended up returning this item. I don't know about your camera but my experience with a camera with a fixed lens is it does not take anything that will do something the camera is not designed to do in the first place.

YES Kate, the Canon HF-R300 does not have any built in memory. (SD cards are cheap enough now that more and more new units do not include internal memory). Also, from my experience you will need a second battery.

I'm not too sure if it will work for you camera, it depends on what your previously camera charger looked like. Mine is a Samsung HZ30W and this fit perfectly and works great!

I have a Vixia HF20 camera that uses the BP-808 and BP-819. I bought the Maxtek BP-827 and have had no problems with it. Also The camera does recognize the battery for the time.

I have been using this battery in my Vixia HF100. If the original HF100 battery is the same as the one in your camera, it should work.

I don't have any idea on this..sorry. Maybe check with a Canon dealer? That's what I'd do if I were you. Good luck.

Yes, it acts like the OEM, no differences. It just has bigger capacity. When it is fully charged, my CANON VIXIA HF20 shows about 200 minutes of capacity.

Yep! The Canon charger that comes with your camera will work perfectly! No worries there! :)

That might depend on the camera you use, I have a Canon Vixia HF R300 and the batteries work great with it. I normally get a little over two hours of battery and unlike most other battery substitutes it shows all the displays and battery life duration timers that a canon battery would have. As for a warning screen the only warning I ever get on my camera is a to "Back up my recordings regularly". I have no idea what camera you might be using, but you should check that out on the specifications page of the product, it usually tells you which cameras support these batteries.

According to CNET, http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/canon-vixia-hf-s20/4507-6500_7-33949016.html, the Canon HFS 20 takes a Canon BP-808 battery. If this is correct, then yes, this extended battery is a good replacement and should work fine.

I am not sure if it works with your particular model HG20. It should say on the product specifications online. I have a Vixia HF M50 and it works fine. You need to see if your camcorder has an option for external remote control and make sure to turn it on for the remote control to work.

Don't take my word for it. Make sure you inquire about the exact camera you have. It's all about the configuration of the contact points. Mine did work perfect for my Canon. Just a note of the quality, excellent !
