5.0 out of 5 stars Good, reliable battery - Highly recommended!!!, March 7, 2004

This review is from: Canon NB-1LH Battery Pack for Canon S110, S200, S230, S300, S330, S400, S410 & S500 (Electronics)

I got the NB-1L battery when I bought my Canon Powershot S200, and I've since bought two extra batteries, one Canon (the battery reviewed), and one DigiPower equivalent.

The original Canon batteries perform noticably better than the DigiPower battery, and they also stay fairly cool, as opposed to the DigiPower battery that gets dangerously hot during operation.

I've had no problems running my Canon batteries, but the capacity is not all that impressive - hence the 3 batteries. An absolute minimum here would be two batteries for your camera.

On my S200 with the LCS screen on, I can get somewhere between 75 and 150 pictures out of one fully charged battery. With the LCD screen off (only a 2 second preview after each picture), I can get around 200 (sometimes a few more) pictures out of one fully charged battery.

I've been using my newest battery for about 10 months, and so far I haven't noticed any decrease in capacity. It appears to hold its charge very well for weeks at a time.

I would probably have given it a 2 star rating if I took the general battery capacity into consideration, but since you don't have any real options to this general battery type, I'll give it an overall 5 star rating. It performs better than other brands for my camera, and I've been very happy with it in all aspects.

I would also recommend that you to buy this battery and not a Canon equivalent from another manufacturer. This battery's worth the extra money!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Battery -- But DON'T buy generic!!, April 11, 2004

We have had our Canon S400 for about 4 months & it has been wonderful -- as well as the Canon battery. The charge lasts for a pretty long time. We bought a generic battery (from an individual seller off this site) for a backup. It died in a little over a month. Don't bother trying to save money - just get the real thing (which this is).

If you have a Canon Powershot for more than a couple of weeks (and use it) you will inevitably come to the conclusion that you need a second battery. I have the S410 and the battery indicator only comes on when you have around 4 flash photos worth of power remaining. Then you're out of luck until the battery is recharged. If you have a spare you can go on shooting until the other is recharged. It's a win-win situation and worth the price. My brother-in-law has an earlier powershot and has experimented with non-canon batteries and his conclusion is that it is worth the premium to buy canon's battery. My recommendation: get an extra battery and go with Canon. Plus if something goes wrong you can call up Canon and not worry about voided warranties and what not. You will not regret this purchase.
