I ordered 2 of these batteries for my Canon PowerShot SD600. They arrived ontime. Charged both in my OEM Canon charger and both worked right out of the box. Just wanted some back up for the camera - and spare batteries at this price - you can't go wrong.

I bought this so I wouldn't run out of battery life while taking pictures on our trip to Spain and France this year. It turned out to be completely useless for this use. Once charged I was able to take no more then 10 photos using this battery before it needed recharging.
The Canon branded battery that came with the camera holds it's charge through hundreds of photos and viewings. It's worth the extra money to know you'll always have plenty of battery life.

When used in a Canon TX-1, this replacement battery last 60% as long as the Canon original. Since you can buy ~4 of these batteries for the same cost of the Canon, it's a net savings overall but the 900 mah rating is misleading.

Bought this for my SD750. I wanted to believe that some people just got a lemon when they ordered this CTA Digital DB-NB4L Replacement Battery. I wanted to believe that I'd get lucky and this would be a great deal.

Not so. It holds a charge for about 15 - 20 minutes of use, if you're lucky. I returned it and about to fork over the cash for a genuine Canon battery.

My battery will run out much faster than my old canon battery after the first month.... now after 3 months it's not even worth to charge it....I can normaly take 5 pictures with a full charge of this battery.... No intence use at all...just on weekends, barelly

I have a Canon TX1 hybrid camcorder plus digital camera (720p video, 7.1 MP camera). Taking video with this thing eats battery. I bought 4 of these (which equals the price of the the OEM Canon battery). After 4 months of use, 2 of the batteries lost ability to hold much charge. After 6 months, the other two lost the ability to hold charge. I suppose that, for the price of 1/4 the OEM battery, this is fine, but it can be quite annoying. The OEM battery, meanwhile, is still soldering on like a champ.

After having this battery for 6 months now, I have to agree with those who have said to buy the genuine canon battery. It worked great for the first few months but now the battery is maybe good for 15 minutes of usage (taking about 20 pictures and reviewing them). I've used replacement batteries for many of my electronics but this one is definitely a pass.

I have used the battery in the past few months in the past few months together with two Canon batteries. I did not went out of my way to compare their battery life, but did not discern a notable difference among them.

No worries. I have used it as one of my two batteries for about four months. Without issue.

Works perfectly in a Canon SD1000

Seems to have the edge in overall life. Hard to quantify without actually timing them somehow.

Recommended purchase.

The battery fits, charges etc., no problem. It claims a higher capacity than the original Canon battery, but I assure you that's not the case. Stay away from this garbage and by an original Canon batt - that's my advice anyway.
