    "I bought this battery as a backup for my 40D after reading positive reviews from other customers. I used my canon battery first and it lasted me a long time, but as it was getting low, I charged this one up to have it ready. When the canon battery finally died, I threw this one in and flipped the switch to "ON"... and nothing. The battery doesn't work AT ALL. Luckily it hasn't blown up in my camera like the ..."

    "The OEM Canon BP-511 battery is tops. It holds a good charge for a long time and will shoot a lot of pictures. The thing to watch out for is that there is also a BP-511A battery that will fit a camera where the BP-511 was original equipment, but the power requirements are different; it is designed …"  Read Full Review »

    "I agree with RagTimeBill's conclusion that it's probably safer to stay with a known quantity, i.e., Canon battery products. However, common sense says that there are less-expensive brands of provable quality and reliability that can be found--and I know they exist. In fact, I'd be willing to wager …"  Read Full Review »
