I purchased this to have a backup for when I was conducting long shoots. I have found that I typically do not use both batteries on most shoots. Actually, I've found that I will fill up 40gb worth of SDHC cards before I switch out batteries when I'm shooting RAW+JPG on my Nikon D7000.
Nikon gives a couple of different ratings for how many shots you can get on a full charge with this battery.
Testing according to the CIPA standard show this battery can take 1,050 shots on a single charge. Under these test conditions the room temperature is 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit (+/- 3.6 degrees). A Nikon 18-105mm lens is used. The focus is moved from infinity to minimum focus and a shot is taken every 30 seconds. The on board Speedlight flash is fired every other shot. This does not use live view.
Nikon's own test conditions yield much better numbers per charge. At 68 degrees Fahrenheit with a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII lens and an image quality of JPG basic, medium. The shutter release is pressed halfway down and the focus is cycled from infinity to minimum range three times. Six shots are taken in a burst at 1/250 of a second shutter speed. The LCD monitor is then turned on for five seconds then turned off. This is repeated once the exposure meter has turned off.
Nikon's own test conditions yielded approximately 4,500 shots per charge.
This truly incredible. I have easily taken more than 800 to 1000 shots on a charge. A big part of the number of shots I get is how much I review them on the LCD. This is the largest drain of power.
Even though this battery has an amazing life, I would suggest picking up a second.... Read more ›

It's a battery so there's not too much to say, although this battery has enormous performance gains over the D90's EN-EL3e, I'm rockin' two of these suckers in my D7000 and I don't know when I'll actually need to charge them again since they've barely gone down at all after a week of heavy usage.

Not too much to say about a battery.
Its a genuine Nikon product so there is no question about the quality. As much as I wanted to find a cheap 3rd party alternative like I did with my D90 that took EN-EL3's, I do feel a bit more confident in having an OEM battery.
So I guess in conclusion, its exactly what its supposed to be and works exactly like I need it to.

Bought this to have a back up battery for our two week trip to Greece. Ended up forgetting the battery that originally came with the camera and had only this one. Only had to recharge it once during our trip and we took approximately 1500 photos and 2 HD videos.

This is a top quality battery with about 1/3 more energy storage than the similar EN-EL3e used in previous products. It is excellent, but obscenely expensive, considering that similar batteries from third parties cost about 20% as this one. Nikon had to redesign the EL3e contacts because of some Japanese fire safety regulations, and they took the opportunity to make the firmware more difficult to clone.
All the camera makers put firmware in the batteries to count number of charges, age, and abuse -- and to protect their monopoly for proprietary expensive batteries. For the moment there is no cheaper second source that correctly mimics the firmware in this battery and allows your camera to work. It usually takes a few months for the generic battery makers to decode this and fake it. As of now, I don't know of any successful imitations that work. There probably will be in the next six months, if history is any guide.
This battery deserves 5 stars for performance but I knocked one off because of the unreasonably high cost.

Many time I have bought non-name brand rechargable batteries for my Nikon cameras. Over the years I have had mixed results, but often times the non-Nikon have been a better investment for "entertainment use."
However, since I needed these for my business and serious assignments where I wanted to be able to rely 100%, I wnt with the genuine Nikon. It is good to have a matched set of these and the performance of the one that came with the camera and the extra one I ordered seems identical. In this case it was worth the investment.

Loved this battery. I used this to back up my D7000 camera. The battery performed more than I expected. I recommend to buy the original battery and not the 3rd party. If. you travel a lot and love to shoots , this is must for you to have. I'am happy and worry free for my purchased.

Out of the box:
Genuine Nikon packaging with Nikon holograph sticker. In the box, genuine Nikon battery (with hologram sticker), plastic contact protector and instructions. Battery comes partially charged, as most do. Charges and holds the same charge as the battery that comes with the camera. Box says Cell: made in Japan and Pack: assembled in China.
Recommendation:
You can probably get another battery from a 3rd party a lot cheaper. But remember, there have been battery recalls on similar batteries, even by Nikon. I am going to stick with the Nikon brand until it's time to replace these. Then I'll look for a bargain. I also recommend that you should always have a second battery charged and available when the one in your camera dies. For obvious reasons.
Bottom line:
Yes, spend the cash now and go 3rd party later. Some will say save the $20 or $30 and go third party now. If cash is an issue, then that's your deal! :)

Exactly as expected.
It's a Genuine Nikon battery. What more do you want? Always good to keep a spare in the bag, especially on Nikon D800.

Good battery gets better
I owned a d700 prior to my d800 and this battery has a shape and contacts which operate more positively. You can align, slide and feel the battery seat more easily. Read more

For my new D7100. Never be without an extra battery and extra memory cards. They are small and light and necessary.
