When you look at the cost/performance ratio, this battery is a great deal, but if you are a professional you want the best battery life possible, so you would probably have to get between 2 or 3 of these to be equivalent to the real Canon battery.

It's cheap, you get what you pay for but it would probably be worth it for cheap emergency backup batteries for your equipment. It's no where near as good as the canon battery. I bought this battery as a spare when I bought my canon 20d nearly 3 years ago and the canon battery still holds a charge like new (can easily take 600-1000 pictures on one charge) while this battery even when new could only take maybe 300-400 pictures at best.

I probably sound harsh but the capacity isn't as good as the actual Canon one.

If you love your canon camera and want back up batteries. This is the one. It's cheap and it works just like the manufacture's!

This is just like the original battery, lasts about the same too. Not sure why but sometimes camera won't turn on right away after putting it after charging. Power cycling camera usually fixes issue. This is a minor problem, only annoying when I need to take a picture right away. Good bargain, recommended to anyone.

This battery is no better than staying plugged into the wall. Perhaps I got a defective one. Highly recommend going through a couple of cycles before the return period is over.

Battery has been working fine for the past 6 months. It was a perfect fit.

I haven't done detailed measurements, but I rotate this with two Canon originals, all purchased in 2005, and I haven't noticed any difference in performance. It's given me very good service for the money.
