Yes, you can purchase a replacement battery for the VL-Z1 camcorder here: http://www.zbattery.com/Lenmar-replacement-battery-for-the-Sharp-BT-L226U

Our policy, listed below, would not allow for us to send a single battery to Australia. So if you want only 1 battery you would have to find a seller in Australia that sells a similar battery, or if you have a friend in the US we would send it to them and they would send it to you.

Hi,
You will need a firewire cable and a firewire port on your computer. If you don't have such a port then you can buy a firewire pci card.

See this for info and pictures

Futurshop and a few other smaller stores like Mycrobytes have anything you need.

You may need what's called a 'firewire' port, which was the transfer port of choice for most DV models of the time.

My contact at the local RadioShack advised me that a DV-to-USB cable might work to allow transfers since firewire isn't really supported these days. I've not tested it myself though. The cable should cost less than $20.00... and if you're careful with the packaging, you could always return it if it proves useless.

HOWEVER, this is what you may need to allow correct transfer from the cam to the laptop:

Check, first, to make sure that the pc-end of the cable is, in fact, a firewire connector.

Clean up your head with the mini Dv head cleaner cassette. If still problem persists, give it to company personnal for repairing this problem, because this is the problem for the head. The head is the costly part in camcorder. So please give it to authorized person other than the local technician.

I ended up buying a CyberLink DVD Maker kit.

To transfer video you need to use firewire, not usb. If you use firewire to connect, set the camera to the 'play' icon and then open up a capture program (ie, movie maker) you should be able to just record/capture from there. Good luck!

the firewire cable is available at the computer shop when you buy a ee1394 card...the av cable i know is included on the camera kit when you the camera.. if not included then try to the authorized dealer of sharp..
