FOREVERFATE:how much memory does your hdx-18 have now? and have you got a good battery and charger
1238556
6GB, the same as when new. The memory tests fine. The battery and charger are functioning properly.

I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this: There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week. It's plenty of battery from a full charge, especially compared to the stock one. It is absolutely adequate and well worth the money, you won't regret this one. I should add that I am on an HP Pavilion G6-1b60us with an AMD A4 and replacing the factory HDD with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (so reduced power consumption over the stock HDD there, I'm sure, but not sure by how much)

Clifford, I am not a very constantly-taking photographer, so with my new Canon SX260 which I bought in October of 2012 I have taken only 171 photos. The original battery which I charged when I received the camera is still going strong, with full bars in the camera's battery icon. I cannot guess how much longer it will go before recharging, but I am well satisfied with the battery so far. It is a real Canon NB-6L-Ion battery, not one of the cheaper non-Canon batteries available at a much lower price. I cannot speak for those, but have bought another real Canon battery which is charged and ready to go when the original battery needs its first re-charge. Hope this helps you somewhat.

I don't know about yours as I have an HP HDX16. On normal, I can hold 3-4 hours depending on what's open, power saver a good 5+ hrs. I don't know if i answered your question but this is my current status; April 28, 2014.

I used 16 GB card and it was ample. A 64 is more than the battery will likely support. I never tested it for sure.

I've never timed it, but I went for an extended horseback ride with friends, shooting video every few minutes, for sometimes a few minutes at a time, and never ran down the battery. Did probably a dozen little vids, and still pics, too. I've never run out of battery, but after I've used the camera quite a bit, I put it in the nifty wall charger, so that I don't get out there and find a dead battery. Hate that! Love my camera!

It depends on the memory card size, 64GB can have max 192 hours continuous video (low frame rate) or 48 hours (high frame rate). For battery operation, around 8 to 10 hours.

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

No I keep it plugged in with a 2-usb cig lighter adapter and a mini usb cord from mono price, I use the other usb plug for phone.Edit: I see now you might have meant storage space and not battery life, if so then it depends on sdcard capacity as another responder mentioned. FYI a Sandisk 32gb card did not work for me even tho it should have been fast enough so I switched to a Samsung and have had no issues so far.

I have never completely depleted the battery and have used it all day on a number of occasions with multiple recordings, both still and video. I get about 4 hours video with a 16 GB sd card.

I used a 32GB today with no problems. Of course, the battery will run out WAY before you max out a 32GB chip.

Thanks. I'm currently enjoying the camera already. I want a 4 or more gig card for video. I'm also accumulating the compulsory accessories, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc .

I am impressed with the L505D super high capacity battery, I can run 10 hours - 20 minutes without a charge, would not trade for anything!

I don't think the HDX has a full-sized USB port, so that would mean no (although I *think* you might be able to find an adapter for it?).

I have an HDR-CX160 and they work fine in that camera. I get almost 5 hours of continuous use off a full charge.

Hi so you want to trade my 128GB for your 256GB? Email me at geraldino DOT 10 ATT gmail DOT com, I'm looking to upgrade my HDD on my UX31. Thanks.
