...and they don't come with a fucking battery charger!

You have to charge the battery on the camera, what use is that? I have 2 spare batteries for each camera plus a video light that takes the same batteries, no charger with that either. So after spending £5000 on kit I now need to get the charger as an optional extra. Balls to Sony!

What betteries do you have?

I have two. 1 is an 1 hour (which came with it), but I also have an 8 hour battery, which is the only one I use.

If you use an 8 hour battery, you will never need to change it, as its unlicly that you will do a shoot for more than 8 hours.
