This review is for the Delkin (eFilm) replacement battery for Canon BP-511 battery purchased in Feb-2004 (not from Amazon).
Battery lasted so far (April-2005) and is unable to hold charge anymore. Battery performed upto expectations for 4-6 months after purchase and then required more frequent charging, until now where it cannot hold charge anymore. The original Canon-BP-511 which came with the camera lasted for 2 years and maintained fairly consistent charge-hold time until completely dying out. If you plan to keep your camera longer, then its worth investing in a better battery.

I had the battery 9 months and then it stopped working. It lasted somthing like 25 charges. My Canon battery has been used about 4 times as much without noticeable loss of performance.

I bought two of these about 2 years ago from a camera dealer for about what they sell for today. To date, only one of them has died.

On my 10D these batteries out lasted the original Canon batteries when shooting photos (without the flash). I have grown to prefer these batteries over my Canon ones.

For the money, these batteries are worth it and I'll be buying another one soon.

I've waited to write a review to make sure that I knew of which I speak. So, here we go. I have been using 2 of these batteries (not purchased through Amazon) for about 2 years now, right next to my Canon batteries, and have had absolutely no problems. I use a battery grip on my cameras (I have the Canon Digital Rebel and the 5D) so that I can a)use 2 batteries and b)gives the cameras more 'heft' - balance.

I just make sure that both batteries in the camera are the same, 2 eFilms or 2 of the other. I don't know if that makes a difference, but as I said, it's been about 2 years, if not longer, that I've been using and no problems.

I would never have thought about it if hadn't been for owner of a camera shop that I trust completely told me about them. I wanted to purchase 2 extra Canon's and he said, sure I could take your money, but try these - trust me. Well, I don't normally trust people who say that, but over the years, this shop has never steered me (or anyone else that I know of) wrong. So, I tried them. My cameras are older now, well worn in and still no problems.

This particular item here shows: Ships from and sold by Thememstore. I do not know anything about this store, so I cannot vouch for them, but the battery itself should be fine, if company is reputable.

Enjoy and go out and capture those photons! :D

No appreciable difference between this and the "Canon" product it stands in for. None that is but the price !....

Really nice quality product that won't leave you feeling violated after the checkout process.

When I received this battery it was completely dead and would not take a charge. The date on the side of the battery seemed to indicate it expired some months ago.

I have used a pair of these batteries for about 6 months now. they do work perfectly.

THIS IS A FINE BATTERY. THE PRICE IS EXTREMELY LOW COMPARED WITH WHAT CANON WAS ASKING.
