Almost all camcorders are fighting for the price points and a bigger battery will cost more. So you'll find all stock batteries to be about the same amount of time.
What I did was get a larger battery later. Mine is now over 4 hours.

i've been searching endless lists of camcorders and the ones with good quality wideo tend to have a poor battery life. Need help on choosing the right one.
