4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but worth the cost., October 28, 2008

By	Roger T. Wright (Discovery Bay, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Probably the longest lasting battery pack I've used in any camera. Used in a Cannon EOS XSi, which puts a lot of demands on the battery. Bought a second as a back up for a european vacation and never had a reason to change, even after a week and a half in Italy. Lots of pictures and reviews of existing shots, the battery level indicator never moved from it's fully charged state. The only negative would be the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, October 17, 2008

By	Raven Angel (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

I tried going to the Canon website and they wanted $70 for this battery. This was an amazing find. Its the same battery and came in very handy during my vacation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why do you hate your customers, Canon?, December 15, 2008

By	Kevin Nicholls "jaded, aging hipster" (Milford, MI) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have two of these batteries, and one knock-off for my Canon Digital Rebel XSi.

Nine times out of ten, I'm a total Canon snob when it comes to gear, but I have to say, there's really nothing at all special about this battery. Certainly nothing special enough to command the ridiculous price Canon expects you to pay for it.

On one hand, yes, Amazon should be praised up and down for charging nearly half the MSRP. But on the other, you could buy two (or more) knockoff batteries for about the same price. You'd come out ahead, even if they didn't last as long (which, so far, has not been my experience).

At this price point, the least Canon could do is give you a dinky little LED meter to show the remaining capacity. Sadly, there isn't one to be found on this battery.
