Automatic Watch Replace Battery

I like the flatness and the automatic sleep for long battery life.

The quality of pictures are outstanding. The automatic remote firmware updates is a great feature. As I replace cameras I will likely change to the new FLEX. I encouraged a friend to purchase one and he loves it.

I generally only use automatic option. I'm not technically camera savvy & was looking to replace my Nikon B700(which I've had 4+ years). Loved it, but showing wear & tear, and no longer available. I found the Canon SX70 to be similar in size & features. Extremely satisfied in it's performance so far. (Haven't had much luck with action shots, yet, but I'll keep trying.)

Battery was very easy to replace with no need to shut anything down.

Replacement battery was a easy to replace.

These days it's become almost automatic for me to make sure Battery Capable devices use the L-Series batteries designed by Sony many years ago. I had made a couple attempts to use Non-Sony batteries with all bad results. When I saw the Anton Bauer brand was making an L-Series I gave them a try. I own 8 of these now, for good reason. The newer batteries have better tech and these are no exception, I use them for a Sony HD Camcorder, LED Light(s) (of several configurations). I also have a V-mount Sled which permits me to use two of these on V-mount equipment.

110V or 220V, it's nice to have both. I like the individual charge of each battery. The automatic shutoff when the battery is full is a great feature. Also, it's great to charge 8 batteries at once.

Sleeper with these devices is the loooooong battery life--over 4 times longer than a Zoom I bought. I recorded a 17-hour concert with it unattended except for a battery change for dinner break (I chickened out, the batteries were fine.) Control for volume set to automatic. Recorder clamped out of sight to a flagpole at the side of the stage on the OPPOSITE side of the sound source. Amazing audio. No AGC (automatic gain pumping) I could detect. Would recommend to anyone.

Rechargeable battery makes me surprised. The battery life is longer than I expect. Easy to setup, everything is automatic. Sound is clear, and noiseless.

No issues at all. Generally the battery lasts about a half day of shooting on the Q3 with automatic shutoff after 5 mins with no activity.
