Probably the longest lasting battery pack I've used in any camera. Used in a Cannon EOS XSi, which puts a lot of demands on the battery. Bought a second as a back up for a european vacation and never had a reason to change, even after a week and a half in Italy. Lots of pictures and reviews of existing shots, the battery level indicator never moved from it's fully charged state. The only negative would be the price.

I am a professional photographer and have owned a variety of pro version cameras. I have bought 'no name' brands and the camera name brand batteries for all my cameras (Fuji and Canon). It really does make a difference. The actual name brand will last much longer. I bought two Canon LP-E5 Battery Packs through Amazon-by far the lowest price of ANY other retailer selling the Canon brand! Once I find the product I am looking for price dictates where I purchase. My batteries have staying power! This was a good purchase.

I have two of these batteries, and one knock-off for my Canon Digital Rebel XSi.

Nine times out of ten, I'm a total Canon snob when it comes to gear, but I have to say, there's really nothing at all special about this battery. Certainly nothing special enough to command the ridiculous price Canon expects you to pay for it.

On one hand, yes, Amazon should be praised up and down for charging nearly half the MSRP. But on the other, you could buy two (or more) knockoff batteries for about the same price. You'd come out ahead, even if they didn't last as long (which, so far, has not been my experience).

At this price point, the least Canon could do is give you a dinky little LED meter to show the remaining capacity. Sadly, there isn't one to be found on this battery.
