5.0 out of 5 stars Also consider the Accessory Kit, August 2, 2006

This review is from: Canon NB-5L Battery Pack for Canon SD700IS, SD790IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS Digital Cameras (Retail Package) (Electronics)

This item is not as critical as a backup because the SD700 has an improved battery life but it is still a great item to carry because you may find yourself running more video on this camera.

However, also consider the: Canon Digital Elph Accessory Kit for Canon SD700 IS Camera which includes a battery pack, a nice leather case and a few other items for not much money than you will spend for the batter alone.

Cheers - awesome camera!

5.0 out of 5 stars Long lasting battery, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Canon NB-5L Battery Pack for Canon SD700IS, SD790IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS Digital Cameras (Retail Package) (Electronics)

I decided to buy the Canon battery instead of a generic battery because a store "expert" told me the generic batteries don't last nearly as long. I recently went to Greece for one week armed with 2 batteries. My husband and I took many pictures with our SD900 (257 we kept- we "trashed" countless others) and viewed them at the end of every day. Our first battery lasted 4 days (200+ pictures and at least 4 viewings on the lcd screen) and the second battery never ran out during the week. Buying the battery through Amazon cost half the price of buying at the major electronic store. I would buy this battery again. The second battery is very useful in another country if you don't want to use a voltage converter plus a plug adaptor. Plus if your battery runs out while you are sightseeing you can still get pictures. To be fair, I've never used a generic battery so I can't compare the battery life of generic vs canon. I can only say the battery lasted through 200+ pictues (4 days of pictures).

I got an off-brand battery as an extra for my SD800 IS and was disapointed with the life. The Canon brand is worth the extra cost.
