I decided to try my luck with this 'generic' battery for my Canon SD800. Over the course of a week, I had the chance to test and compare performance of the generic battery to the Canon battery a couple times.

From my experience, there is absolutely no reason to buy the more expensive canon branded battery over this one. The lowdown: this battery is the same in every respect except for brand name and price. Charging time was the identical, battery life was identical, size was identical.. Do not waste your money on the higher priced batteries. This one is a keeper.

UPDATE 7/23/09: Still using this battery a couple years later, and it's still just as good as the canon battery. Thank you Lenmar for a great quality product :)

UPDATE 1/7/2012: The battery has finally shown a difference from the stock. The charge it holds is about half of the original stock battery. Keep in mind this is after nearly 5 years of fairly frequent usage. It lasted long enough and still works as a spare when I need a recharge.

Let me start by saying that I rarely comment on other reviews. However in this case, I need to question why Amazon chose the Spotlight Reviewer for this particular product. All but one other review was for 5 stars...the other one was 4 stars. I give it 5 stars because it performs at least as well as my original Canon battery. It charges just as quicky and holds its charge just as long. As for its size, the battery is the exact same size as the original. The best thing about this Lenmar battery is the price. At $13.99 plus Free Super Saver Shipping on Amazon this is a great deal. I highly recommend this as an extra or replacement battery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent for price, but does not match original.., November 17, 2007

The Lenmar battery fits and works fine with my Canon SD850. I have been using it intensively, and found that it does not hold a charge as well as the original Canon battery - between 151 to 226 shots against 356 with the original Canon battery. It does work great for its price. But if you expect to use your camera intensively, and do not wish to carry multiple spares, you may wish to invest in the original.
