Customer Review: Good Battery - Great Wide Angle on the SD800 Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
This battery appears to be a genuine Canon battery. It was shipped to me promptly. The battery holds a charge well and runs the camera for a substantial period of time. It does not appear to self-discharge unusually quickly. It has neither leaked nor caught fire. I have not instrumented the battery so as to evaluate the charge capacity. Just how much can you say about a battery? Now, if you want to talk about the camera that this is for, the Canon SD800, then we can have a conversation! It's great! Especially the wide-angle end. That is why I purchased the SD800. Many potential camera buyers never pay attention to the wide-angle end of the zoom lens on a digital point-and-shoot camera, but when you're trying to take a group photo indoors, you really notice how wide the lens can go. The SD800 is 28mm wide (using the standard 35mm equivalent), which is SUBSTANTIALLY better than the usual 38mm or worse that most cigarette-pack-size digital point-and-shoot cameras have. You would do well to take this sort of thing into consideration the next time you hunt for a digital point-and-shoot. And, the colors! The DIGIC-III sensor system produces a dynamic range far better than my Nikon D-100. You can find my photos at edboakes -dot- com or at CapturedAmbiance -dot- comCustomer Review: Canon NB-5L Battery
Summary: 5 Stars
After running my original Canon NB-5L camera battery down twice on my last major trip, both at critical times after a long day of taking hundreds of pictures causing me to miss some great, once in a lifetime shots, I knew I had to get a good spare before my next trip. I had purchased a cheap, non-Canon replacement, but it didn't last very long at all, so this time I was determined to get an original Canon battery. I just got back from another trip, and the new battery I purchased performed perfectly, lasting me all day as I switched between the two as needed over my 10 day trip - no missed pictures at all. If you need a replacement or a spare battery, I highly recommend buying the original manufacturer's product even though it's usually more expensive (sometimes much more expensive) than a 'fake'. Although it did take a little longer to get than I had planned (it came just in time before I was to leave on my trip, but that was probably just bad planning on my part), I am completely satisfied with this purchase.Customer Review: Long lasting battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to buy the Canon battery instead of a generic battery because a store "expert" told me the generic batteries don't last nearly as long. I recently went to Greece for one week armed with 2 batteries. My husband and I took many pictures with our SD900 (257 we kept- we "trashed" countless others) and viewed them at the end of every day. Our first battery lasted 4 days (200+ pictures and at least 4 viewings on the lcd screen) and the second battery never ran out during the week. Buying the battery through Amazon cost half the price of buying at the major electronic store. I would buy this battery again. The second battery is very useful in another country if you don't want to use a voltage converter plus a plug adaptor. Plus if your battery runs out while you are sightseeing you can still get pictures. To be fair, I've never used a generic battery so I can't compare the battery life of generic vs canon. I can only say the battery lasted through 200+ pictues (4 days of pictures).Customer Review: Very Happy!

Purchased from We Sell Bulk here on Amazon and received the item much faster than predicted delivery date - I only say that because there's always a list and it's often difficult to pick which seller is the one to go with. Anyhow, the battery came in original and undamaged Canon packaging (looks just like the images available in product description). I was not about to buy the cheap knockoffs and was worried that the one I ordered would be any different than the one that came with the camera (damaged item or store return). Well, after a couple charges and hundreds of pictures, I can say that this battery is exactly the same as our original. It lasts just as long and charges in the same amount of time. Our camera is fairly new so it was a fair comparison - one battery wasn't all that much older than the other.

Customer Review: Good, but expensive
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this battery as a spare to use with a Canon SD870. As far as I can tell, it is the same as the battery that came with the camera. A battery like this has advantages and disadvantages. It is small and flat, so a camera using this battery can be compact and slim. On the other hand you can't just run into any convenience store and buy a replacement like you could for AA batteries. Since a replacement might be hard to find on short notice, I think a spare is a necessity. Both the original and the one I bought from Amazon work great. They last a long time before they need to be recharged. The only problem I have with the battery is that it was very expensive. I haven't tried any cheaper batteries from other companies to see how their performance compares, but if I were to buy another battery for the SD870 I'd try a cheaper copy.
