Customer Review: Canon vs.Other Brand for Canon EOS
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an amateur photographer and have done a few weddings for friends and I do have to say I prefer the Canon battery over other generic batteries for this EOS camera. I can take about 600-700 photographs with this battery, while a few batteries I got from a secondary company lasted only 100-150 shots and not to mention they threw off my timing with my 430EX flash. I definitely recommend the Canon NB-2LH for Canon original equipment. These batteries have served me well in outdoor photography in Alaska, Hawaii and in the Caribbean, as well as, special event portraits. My recommendation in always to have two batteries. I personally have had my original battery from canon for over three years and it has taken over 10,000 photographs and still going strong.Customer Review: Fast Charging, Ever Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This came with my Rebel XT. Made in Japan, rated at 720mAH. I also bought a generic battery (SterlingTek - made in China) for back-up. Generic battery is rated to be 1700mA. Canon's probably last 100 shots more for comparison.
Pros:
- A full charge usually lasts around 500 shots. Auto focusing on all the time and with a 15% flash use.
- Amazingly small and light. It fits even in the smallest pocket of your camera bag.
- It is Canon for your Canon. You know there is no incompatibility issue. Perfect fit.
- Fast charging. 1 hour of charge will lasts you a full day of shooting.
Cons:
- Expensive compared to my back-up that costs almost 1/4 of the price. Both batteries still works.
Customer Review: Long-lasting spare battery...decide if you really need it first
Summary: 5 Stars
I always do this - I buy a new camera and immediately get a spare battery. I've heard that the knock-off Canon NB-2LH batteries don't have a very good charge life to them, so I bought OEM. I am a heavy user of my Canon G9, and have yet to run into a day where the first battery ran out. You can get probably 250-300 shots using the LCD on the camera before you start to worry if the battery's going to die...but really, are you going to take more than that on any given day? I know, I know: "if you're on a vacation, you don't want to run out" - right? It's up to you - the 5 stars are a testament to how long the battery lasts, but think twice if you're getting one solely because you are afraid that the original is going to run out quickly.Customer Review: A Must-Have in your Gadget Bag!

Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon NB-2LH Rechargeable Battery / Pack for my Digital Rebel XT is a no-brainer.
Here's why:
* The Caveat is: You can never have too many batteries, CF cards and/or film.
* This Canon rechargeable has exceptional Reserve battery power, which means you don't
have to change batteries that often.
* Small in size (about 1"x 2"), non-bulky & so Lightweight!
* I have 2 sets, with 2 separate chargers, that way I always have a fresh set that I throw in
my camera bag.
* Now, If only Canon could produce a Rechargeable battery that worked on my Digital
Camcorder, my Rebel XT AND my Cell Phone, that would be totally Awesome!
Customer Review: Long life, fast recharge
Summary: 5 Stars
I got an extra battery for my new Canon Digital Rebel XTI. The battery charges in one to two hours, takes hundreds of pictures, and lasts (at least) weeks in standby mode. In 6 weeks and over 400 pictures, I have charged the battery that came with the camera once, charged the spare, and the spare is now in the camera, still showing full charge. Quite a change from even a couple of years ago when digital camera batteries took 50 pictures or so and lost charge in a few days.
I know people who have gotten 3rd party products for other Canon cameras (not this one) and these did not work. The Canon is more expensive, but I consider it worth the extra.
