AT FIRST MY WIFE AND I WENT TO THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE COST OF THIS BATTERY WOULD BE $70.WE DECIDED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.WE WENT TO AMAZON AND FOUND THE SAME BATTERY,STILL IN THE BOX FOR $30 LESS.NO BRAINSTORM NEEDED HERE.RECEIVED IT IN AMPLE TIME FOR MY DAUGHTERS B-DAY AND FOR X-MAS.THANKS AMAZON M.ROMANO
I use the camera a LOT: I also do real estate photography in addition to my own photography. It is well worth the extra cost for the Canon brand. I have owned two Canon brand XTi camera batteries since 2006, when I purchased my Rebel XTi camera. After heavy use, the batteries are only now starting to show their age.
You might say I should be happy with 2 years, but I have a Kodak P&S digital camera with a built in NMIH battery that I bought in 2001 and its still got the original battery about 9 years later, and it works.I expected more by paying top dollar for Cannon. Then after about 2 years it started to tank. At first this battery worked amazingly well, I would take a lot of pictures and not seem to dent it's charge. As a family camera, it did not see heavy use. More frequently it needed charging, then it would only last like 40 shots, then less, then it doesn't even run the camera.
Don't accept substitutes. My Canon original battery kept hopping like the energizer bunny. I purchased a battery from a non-canon dealer for my Canon EOS Digital and was very disappointed. The batter lasted about 6 months and wouldn't hold a charge anymore. I purchased the original equipment the second time for a little more money but am very happy with my purchase.
The new Canon battery seems to work fine. The delivery took several days even though I paid substantially extra for quicker delivery.
