Can someone tell me a good place to buy batteries for a dcr-vx1000?

I looked on ebay but the cheapest I can find them is $30.

you might try studio1productions.com in Florida. They might still have them but $30 is a pretty cheap price.

eBay's your best bet. The Lenmark NP-730H knockoff works real well, at a fraction of the cost of the Sony version.

true, $30 really isn't a bad deal.

is the np-f730 the only battery for a vx1000? i'm afraid i'll get the wrong thing on ebay because most of them say they are compatible with a vx1000, vx2000, and vx2100, but the vx1k and 2k have two different battery types. so i'm trying not to get scammed.

Will this work?

It's an np-f730h knockoff, which should fit the vx1000, but it doesn't say it's compatible with it.

I just looked at the link you provided and did not see the VX1000 listed. I saw a VX2001 (?) and others but no VX1000.

The NP-F720, NP-F730, and NP-F730H all work with the VX1000; I think that there may also be a NP-F710, but I've never actually seen one.

I recommend the NP-F730H because it has the longest battery life of the three (four?)

well i don't even think a vx2001 exists and np-f730 is the battery model for a vx1000, so i don't know... i'll just buy it and see how it works.

Will NP-F770 be compatible?

i'm pretty sure that NP-F730's are the only battery for a vx1000.
