Expensive-but great battery

First, I hate proprietary batteries and expensive ones in particular. However, this battery is different. Yes, it's expensive. But it lasts a long time without recharging. I always shoot with the screen on so I am using it to its full potential. I've never run the battery down--I've shot 500-600 photos a day and it's never run down.
I probably shouldn't have even bought an extra battery, but I now rotate batteries and I always have a safety net if needed. I purchased it because I was going on vacation and wanted to make sure I would only need to charge once/day. I take lots of photos and did not want to be without a battery.
If you need an extra one (be sure you do), this is worth the price. |
One of the best Canon batteries! Worth the money

| This battery is one of the best li-ion batteries I have ever come across. As a camera salesman, I have been able to see and use just about every camera li-ion battery out there. I own the G10 and I use it daily. This battery lasts an extremely long time on a charge and has a very slow discharge rate when sitting on a shelf. It is true that it will hold only so many charges but thats true with any rechargeable battery. The only catch is that this is one of canon's most expensive batteries. It is a good price on Amazon but expect to pay $70+ at electronic and camera retailers. It may be pricy but worth the money! |

| Past experience has proven that the Canon battery outlasts and outperforms any after-market battery of the same use. |
Goes on and on and on

| Not fond of the fact that my Canon G10 must use this expensive battery, but wow, does it go forever on a single charge. On a recent 10-day vacation, shooting approximately 200 pictures per day, I only had to recharge it once, and that was toward the end of the trip. I also appreciate the plug-in recharger; it's small and simple. If I must be tied to a proprietary battery, I'm glad it's this one. |
