Have searched around for OEM batteries, and read lots of do's and don'ts and that the full charge may not displayed, I decided that having paid £2k for a damn good camera, why spoil things with cheap Chinese batteries, so bought the Canon battery, and it's great. Managed 920 shots the first time out.

Excellent battery. Charges fast and lasts for ages. May seem expensive, but Amazon is the cheapest place i've seen to buy this, and it keeps my 5D mark II happy. Planning on getting more for my travels.

Original Canon battery, arrived super fast, and lasts for over 1200 shots in my Canon 7D. Has been charged 4 times, and everytime delivers endless shooting. Much better than any 3rd party battery. Also Amazon have the best price on the web for this original battery. Go on treat yourself.

Buying this canon battery does hit your wallet a little harder but it is worth it. On average I shoot about 700 shots before recharging and I preview most photo's on screen after too. You also get the detailed battery life info on back of camera, if its a canon own battery. It tells you how much percentage is remaining and how well it is going to recharge, so you know how much overall life is left in it. Excellent!

This is,in my humble opinion, a brilliant battery. It does exactly what the Canon blurb says. Only 4 stars because of the expense and it surely cannot be beyond the wit of all those Canon boffins to have made this fit the 30, 40, 50 or 5D Now I have to carry two sets of batteries and a charger for each set....a real downer....Still a great battery.
