Well this is sold as a replacement for the official battery you get from canon. It costs one fifth as much. So far so great.

The picture here indicates that it has the same capacity as the canon one: 1060mAh. That's not accurate. The one I received is marked 2000mAh. Twice as much capacity! Of course those things are not always accurate, but...well, it's holding up pretty well. It's hard to gauge because both of these batteries last so long in the XSI. But it definitely performs well.

In another location someone reviewed a generic replacement for this battery and said it was a slightly different size than the real one from canon and that you would have to pull it out with a toothpick or something. That's not true of mine. It fits perfectly and is exactly the same dimensions. It falls right out when you move the lever that holds it in place...just like the official canon version.

So besides capacity, what is different from the canon battery? This one is physically lighter.

Everything I've seen from this battery is better than the one canon sells. It's a real winner. I may just buy another one!

I ordered the batteries from SF Planet and they have a black label on the batteries indicating 2000mAh but they do not hold a charge as well as my Canon OEM 1060mAh battery. They seem to last only 75% of the time my 1060mAh battery lasts. It appears someone is trying to mislead buyers into thinking they are getting a much higher capacity battery when my guess is the battery is lower then 1060mAh. They were inexpensive so I'm factoring cost into my rating.

That totally got stucked in my EOS rebel T1i. No idea for others, just do not buy for this model if you don't wanna ruin your camera with knife or screwdriver something!
