I bought one of these as an emergency back up for my Canon Ixus 70 before going to Glastonbury this year, thinking that worst case scenario I would get enough battery life to take a few pictures if the original battery gave up on me after a few days.
I actually didn't need to use it on that occasion, but I have since and I can assure anyone who's wondering that it is just as good as the original battery packs Canon provides (and sells as replacements for £20). The battery achieves a full charge from empty in about 2 hours, and then lasts just as long as my original Canon (for me this is usually a matter of weeks, but obviously it depends on your usage so may be a longer or shorter length of time).
Overall I am very impressed with ... Read More:

I've had eight of these batteries for my digital camera. After less than a year, when I recharge them (in an Energizer recharger) they don't hold any power. I insert them into my camera right after charging overnight, switch it on, and after 2 seconds it switches itself off, with the batteries dead. I've probably recharged them 20 times at most. I've read that this seems to be a problem with the 2500mAh capacity ones, I would stay away from them.

It's rated at 1390 mAh and 7.4V. As it's an official Canon product it won't invalidate your warranty if that's a consideration.
These battery packs give a very high number of shots and I feel confident with two of these fully charged I can shoot all day, review photos to my heart's content and use battery draining IS lenses without worry. In fact I've only had to change batteries on one occasion and by that time I'd had enough anyway! I think they are rated to give around 800 shots.
Thanks Amazon for quick delivery of the battery. It works perfectly to my Sony T70 digital camera. I am sure this is genuine. Hopefully it can bear the load of taking above 250 snaps from my camera. I got the price nearly half than sony's own website.

I've been using these for a few months in a Canon 580EX II flash unit, which needs plenty of juice. They've been very reliable, and provide more than enough power whilst out and about. They never run flat before I have a chance to recharge them.

I bought two of these batteries almost a year ago from here for my canon 350d. Even with the incredibly steep postage charge, the product is still far far cheaper than an original canon battery. Well worth it.
After extensive use, I would say these batteries are not quite as good as original canon batteries, but for the price of these, they are much better value for money. I bought spares so i would never be caught off guard and I have been very happy so far. I intend to get the extended camera battery grip, so I might buy another couple of these. Excellent value for money.

Its a fantastic battery, but thats all its is - a battery. It can be found elsewhere from as low as £5, so I wouldn't advise shelling out 8x to replace it.
