Digital camera Review: Fine battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as an extra battery for a Canon sd800is. It is the same as the original battery and is Canon "branded". A third party battery is available locally at TWICE the price, and the Canon version for almost three times the price. This is a good buy.Digital camera 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- comDigital camera Review: Good battery
Summary: 5 Stars
The battery arrived quickly and exactly as advertised. It appears to be exactly the same as the original which came with the camera. I haven't used it long enough to say the battery life is any better or worse than the original. Good buy.Digital camera 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.Digital camera Review: Great Battery
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, this is a battery after all... there's not much to say. I bought it as a backup battery, so I always have a charged battery on hand. A good idea so you never miss a shot.
It's great quality... charges super fast - 2 hours. And I think you have to use Canon only batteries if you don't want to void your warranty.
