1.0 out of 5 stars Lower power knock off..., March 26, 2009

This battery produces less power (780mAh) compared to the Canon battery at 1120mAh. A 33% difference. This also affects sustained power available to the camera to charge the flash or operate lens motors, and decreases the amount of useful battery life you'll receive.

I would get one of these as a back-up, but I would not depend on it one bit. If Canon specifies a 1120mAh battery, they do so because it will work reliably in the camera over its entire temperature range (and over the life of the camera) to give you predictable and reliable performance. Using a lower power battery could cause any number of intermittent, nagging problems (that I've experienced all too much as a photographer.)

Buyer beware. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars More than adequate, October 3, 2008

I bought four assuming that at least one would fail, they all worked. All for a price of less than $20 (about $5 each with shipping), so it was still much less than one canon battery. They don't last as long as the canon which is why I gave a four star review, but for the price it was still worth it. I used them intensively for three weeks with no issues. I wonder how they will hold up over the long haul, but so far, so good.

I was very skeptical about this battery because of the price, but I figured it was so inexpensive I might as well try it since I wouldn't be losing that much cash. Wow, was I surprised. This battery performs on par with the canon battery that came with the camera. I bought 2. Why waste your money on a name brand with product like these around?
