Quick answer
For most Sony camcorders, the NP-F750 offers the best balance of capacity and size, but the NP-F550 and NP-F330 fit older models like the DSR-PD150 and HDR-FX7.
Capacity and runtime trade-offs
The NP-F750 typically provides 7.2V and around 6600mAh, offering longer runtimes than the NP-F550 (usually 4000-5000mAh) and NP-F330 (around 2300mAh). However, higher capacity means a larger physical size, which may not fit all camcorder battery compartments.
If you need extended shooting without swapping batteries, the NP-F750 is the best choice. For compact setups or older models with smaller bays, the NP-F550 or NP-F330 are more practical.
Compatibility with Sony camcorders
All three batteries share the same NP-F mount, so they physically attach to compatible Sony camcorders. However, the depth of the battery compartment determines which one fits without obstruction.
Models like the DSR-PD150, DSR-PD170, HDR-FX7, HDR-FX1, and HDR-FX1000 typically accept the NP-F550 and NP-F750. The older NP-F330 is slimmer and suits camcorders with shallow compartments, such as the GV-HD700 or GV-HD700E.
Trade-offs at a glance
- NP-F550 (mid-range capacity): Offers a good balance of runtime and size. Fits most modern Sony camcorders including HDR-FX7 and HDR-FX1. Typically around 4000-5000mAh. Best all-rounder for general use.
- NP-F750 (high capacity): Larger battery with higher capacity (around 6600mAh). Provides longer shooting time but may protrude from smaller compartments. Fits DSR-PD150, DSR-PD170, and HDR-FX1000. Ideal for extended shoots where size isn't a constraint.
- NP-F330 (compact, older standard): Smaller capacity (around 2300mAh) and slimmer profile. Designed for older camcorders like GV-HD700 and GV-HD700E. Not recommended for newer models with deeper compartments. Only choose if your camcorder specifically requires a slim battery.
