5 Stars Very pleased
This battery is amazing. A must have item. It is fit into my HG10 nicely. Just slightly bigger than the piece of craps battery that came with the canon HG10. This battery should have come with the HG10. Every time I used the HG10 for 15-20 minutes and the battery still shown full power. The original battery would have shown 1/2 power or need to be recharge.

4 Stars Not the extended use battery for HV30
Good battery to replace the one that comes with the HV30, but this is not the extended use battery.

5 Stars Works great
Purchased this for our video camera over a year ago. It really helps ensure that we won’t run out of power for an event.

5 Stars Great battery!!
Had to buy to replace the one we bought over four years ago. We got hundreds and hundreds of hours of recording on our camcorder with this battery. I know we’ll get long life out of it. There is long usage between charges. You definately get your money’s worth.

5 Stars Works great for me
I took two of these batteries with me on a recent trip to China – I always recharged them overnight and didn’t have any situations during the day while site-seeing where I ran out of battery juice. I used them in a Canon HV30 video camera and they have more than enough juice for me to watch my 1 hour HD tapes on the plane flight back.

5 Stars Canon battery for XT
I was going to purchase a cheaper battery for my Canon XT, but after reading stories on how the generic batteries died after a few shots, I decided to purchase a Canon made battery. I am very pleased and after shooting a few hundred photos the battery is still going strong. I think it is worth the extra dollars to make sure the battery is there for you when you need it.

5 Stars A Must Have
You gotta get one.

Because the Canon digital SLR cameras use proprietary battery packs (as does pretty much EVERY digital SLR) you really don’t want to get caught out on a trip with a dead battery – can’t just run to the store and grab more AA’s.

Luckily, you CAN prepare yourself by grabbing a spare Canon battery from amazon.com. The good news is that these batteries last a really long time (at least on my XT) and there’s no way I’ve ever come CLOSE to going through two in one day. So while they’re pricey, I only felt the need to buy one spare, and that has held me find.

I know there are cheaper aftermarket brands out there, and I know that there *may* be no difference – but for me, I’d prefer to put a canon branded battery in my camera, as any kind of leakage will destroy the entire thing, and at least this way the warranty will cover it. Or so I assume: I thankfully have never had that happen (nor have I heard of it in third party batteries).

Still though, even if it’s all in my mind, I prefer the Canon piece, and as I said, just one will do ya!

Is money that you tink are wasted. But take picture at the right time without battery. I relly enjoy have a back up.

5 Stars Good deal
This battery is a good value for the money. Don’t waste your money on the cheaper knock offs.

5 Stars Solid backup!
Had mine get used up after a couple hrs of continuous turned on and shooting, but throw in the spare and you’re good to go!
