4 out of 5 stars So far so good!   August 23, 2010

Notwithstanding the previous reviewer's experience with using the battery with video (I don't shoot video so can't comment.) my experience with the battery for stills has been good, especially given the price and free delivery with Amazon.

I have reduced the score from 5 stars to 4 as the physical dimensions of the battery are very slightly different to the Canon original. (A tiny bit longer.) This hasn't caused problems with fitting the battery in the camera, but it was a bit tight in the charger.

However I didn't push it right in and it still fitted OK with the electrical contacts on the charger and charged just fine.

Endurance for the battery so far seems good and I think it is a solid buy for the price, so I am pleased with it.

Terrible battery, lasted 30 minutes max in video mode, 1/5th of the price of a Canon one and 1/5th of the life. Disregard the 2000mAh claim. You get what you pay for is a well known saying for a reason.

Batteries are a necessary evil, one of life's must haves. I started using the battery as soon as I received it, very prompt delivery. The battery is working well, no problems noted. Price was very good.
