Digital camera reviews of Canon NB-4L Li-Ion Battery for Canon SD1400IS, SD940IS, SD960IS and Other Select Canon Digital Cameras - Retail Package
Digital camera Review: Better than the generic version
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the same NB-4L battery with my canon SD200 for three years now. I also bought a generic version of this battery to use as a spare. The Canon has always held a much greater charge than the generic, and the difference has gotten more noticeable over time. After three years of use, the generic only charges up enough to take about 10 pictures with flash. The genuine Canon NB-4L is still going strong and lasts for far more photos. (The two batteries have been charged and used roughly the same number of times.)
So now that the generic doesn't hold enough charge to be worth using, I'm going to buy another of the Canon brand batteries. My experience shows that the difference in price is matched by a difference in performance.
Digital camera Review: Better than the generic(s)
Summary: 5 Stars
I use three batteries in rotation, as I am frequently travelling in places where there is no electricity. When I traded in my old PowerShot S410 for a new PowerShot SD750 I took a chance on buying two generic batteries ($12 instead of $42).
Both generics were slightly less than perfect, in that they would regularly activate the 'low battery' icon/light even when they were fully charged. Occasionally, they would even evoke the 'change battery' message. On these occasions I had to open the battery compartment, partially remove the battery, then re-install it, in which case I could now proceed to take pictures with the same battery.
My sense was that the total battery life of the generics was not dramatically shorter than the Canon original, although I did not attempt to measure this precisely.
As soon as I was able (about a month after I bought them, as I was travelling at the time) I returned the generics to Amazon and paid full price for the Canon original. Although the generics could be 'worked around' it wasn't worth it to me, as I discovered I was more interested in taking photos than in saving $30 (times 2).
Digital camera Review: Better than the one came with my camera...
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is well-made, and better than the one that came with my canon SD400. And it's way cheaper to buy it here (for $38) than at any other retail stores (it cost about $60+ at stores). For info: the battery is MADE IN JAPAN. =) (and Canon cameras are from japan; the battery that came with my camera is made in china =( ) "I Like." (Borat)Digital camera Review: Brand Misrepresented
Summary: 2 Stars
I was seeking a genuine CANON NB-4L battery for digital camera. Item for sale was advertised as "Canon NB-4L Battery Pack for the SD40, SD630, SD600, SD750, SD1000 & TX1 Digital Cameras" Product received was different brand: "Digipower@RTM Replacement for: Canon NB-4L, Item #BP-CN4L."
I am disappointed in product but did not want to hassel with return mail.
Digital camera Review: Buy for the quality!
Summary: 5 Stars
The replacement battery is the same as the real one, so you get the same long lasting quality as you expect from Canon. I had initially purchased an off brand but found it was not worth the price savings as it lasted only a short time.
