Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon BP511A 1390mAh Lithium Ion Battery Pack for Select Digital Cameras and Camcorders (Retail Package)
Customer Review: awesome battery for my ancient Canon Powershot G3
Summary: 5 Stars
LOVE this battery--my first battery for my Canon Powershot G3 lasted SEVEN years (I got the camera in 2004, and this is my first time replacing the battery). I've become completed spoiled with the awesome battery life and refuse to buy any camera that doesn't have a rechargeable lithium ion battery). I've even used this camera DAILY on a 10 day trip to England, taking and reviewing pictures, without recharging even once (I hadn't brought the correct adapter). This is a fantastic price for an awesome product--it charges up reasonably quickly, has fantastic, long life, and fits perfectly in my Canon Powershot G3. :)Customer Review: Great price for a great accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the battery grip and a spare battery and highly recommend both. I have no doubt that an aftermarket battery is just as good, but at this price, why bother? I went to Best Buy and they wanted $10 more for an Energizer battery. Apparently the battery is also used in many Canon camcorders so they are in ready supply. That's good news for us because it means cheaper batteries. This spare battery is essential if you plan to shoot while vacationing (did you remember to take your battery charger??!) or while mountain climbing or taking spectacular shots of the Grand Canyon.Customer Review: The Best Battery I Have Used
Summary: 5 Stars
I still use the original canon BP511 battery which came in my Canon 300D which I purchased in 2003. I also have 2002 Canon BP511 batteries which came in Canon D60 . Amazingly, they are all still working well. To me, they are better than the others because they hold charges better and keep on working many years after the others have died. The price is so much higher than the others, and I do buy some cheaper ones. But, when I do not carry any spare, and if I need to really depend on the batteries(I use two batteries in each camera), I always choose genuine Canon BP511 or BP511A.Customer Review: Whoa.
Summary: 5 Stars
The lack of an active sensor-LCD display on a D-SLR, among other things, means that I can take around four hundred pictures with this camera before recharging the battery. Flash, continual focusing, burst-- nothing seems to faze this battery. I want to get the battery grip so I can take a few thousand pictures at once... that'd be sweet.
I hope it holds up. I've only had it for a few weeks... my NB-1LH for my trusty Powershot S500 has only just begun to show a noticeable decrease in the charge it holds, and I've had that camera for almost three years...
Customer Review: Better than the original !
Summary: 5 Stars
My original Canon battery that came with the camera has a distressing habit of dying after ~250 pictures (I have a 1 GB memory card that can take many more), so I had to figure out a way of charging it whereever I went. I had thought that a non-Canon battery, almost by definition, would be worse than the original. But, no - this one is great. It lasts longer - I havent formally tested it to see how long it lasts, but it lasted for >320 pictures on one occasion, so is clearly better. Carrying this is better than carrying a charger with you on long trips.
