Customer Reviews

Just what you would expect
I agree that this battery is expensive. I debated for some time the merits of a cheaper copy battery and the much more expensive genuine Canon product and opted for the latter.

I have found the Canon battery to last an absolute age but wanted a backup. I paid a lot of money for my 450D and decided that if I end up leaving the battery in the camera for a long time I just don't want to take a risk of it leaking. Now, it is true that no one reviewing the copy batteries has had any issues but I decided on balance to go with the Canon. it is a new boxed battery, looks exactly like the one in the camera and also lasts an age. It does what it says on the tin. Why take a chance when you have commited so much on the camera, lenses, flash etc.?

good quality official battery if a little expensive
when you pay for official batteries you expect the best and no problems - and you do get what you pay for.
i have since shifted to much cheaper generic batteries without any problems. the bottom line is if you need just the odd additional battery you are safer going official
. if you need more than that, then you would be crazy not to take the chance with generic ones, you will probably not be disappointed and much richer.

2nd battery
Bought as a backup to use with Canon EOS when the main battery runs out & is cheaper than buying a battery grip.
