5 Stars Reliable Friend
I bought the Canon LP-E5 battery because I was going on an important photo trip and didn’t want any issue with quality. This battery did not fail me. In fact, it went longer than stated. I’ll stick with this battery in the future rather than use second rate batteries.
5 Stars Canon Battery
Received as ordered, competitive price & works fine. Was on time so am very satisfied.
5 Stars Good battery, but you may as well get the Bag kit.
The battery itself is a commodity and runs up to $70 bucks, so you may as well get the Canon Rebel EOS (or your model) bag kit with Battery and filter. It cost at minimum $99, but the bag is waterproof and durable. I knew a secondary battery would be needed, but after checking the prices and realizing I need a bag it was a no brainer.
5 Stars Right on time. Thanks.
Thanks for getting this to me right when I needed it. I will keep you in mind for future purchases.
5 Stars Great battery life!
I bought this as a spare for my Canon Rebel XSI. I can take over 500 pictures no sweat without even considering swapping for a backup battery. Also the battery charge last for a while.

4 Stars Very Nice Camera
This is my 2nd Canon Digital Camera. Overall, i am very satisfied with this product. The pictures taken in sunny, outdoor settings are stunning.
720P HD videos shooting is easy and quaility is very good. Camera Software user interface is very intuitive, and has some advanced editing features as well.
Here is some short-comings I’ve noticed:.
(1) if you takes a lot of pictures with kids playing sports where your subject is in motion, this camera is not a good fit. The continuous-shooting mode is slow. (~1 shot/second range)
in addition, the LCD “blanks” out for a 1+ seconds after each shot so you have a hard time following your subject while in continuous-shooting mode. The “Servo AF” mode tends to over-compesate so i general turned that off.
(2) If you would like to take picutres using the camera’s 12X optical zoom, pls make sure you use a tripod since very small hand motion at that range can make the shot producing a lot of noise (”foggy” pictures).
(3) The “Auto” mode in indoor setting doesn’t always detect the current light condition. It’s best to put the camera in “Program”(P) mode and manually select light condition and sensitivity.
In general, this camera does not take good pictures in low-light conditions without the flash.
5 Stars This thing is awesome…
I read all the reviews of this camera here on Amazon, as well as seeking out photography websites looking for recommendations for the best small point and shoot camera. Despite a few bad reviews here, everything else I saw was pretty positive, so I decided to go for it. I am SOOOOO glad I did.
From the moment it came out of the box, it was love at first site.
The display is large and clear and crisp.
The photos is takes are wonderful. I have seen low reviews talking about “noise” and “blurriness” and the only thing I can guess is that these people never took 5 minutes to figure out how to USE the camera. Set to the indoor setting, pictures taken inside are clear, crisp and brilliant. No noise. If you use the Kids&Pets mode, motion shots are almost always perfect and without blurriness. If you try and take every picture on “Auto” you are going to get a mixed bag of shots on ANY camera, that is why the camera comes with different settings.
I’ve also seen complaints about where the flash is and how hard the camera is to hold. It is true that when turning the camera on, the flash has bumped my finger a few times. But this is hardly a deal breaker. So it bumps you – it isn’t as though it is causing injury to the camera or to you, for goodness sake!!!! So it bumps you and you move your finger – big deal! I cannot fathom why anyone would care about this. As far as being hard to hold, maybe if you had the hands of a 7 ft NBA player or a 350lb lineman, it might be a bit small in your hands and hard to handle – but so would ANY small camera. But both my husband and myself have had no issues holding on to it. If you are worried for some reason, that is what the camera strap is there for. Personally, I love the fact that it EASILY slips into a pocket so I don’t walk around looking like a tourist, or have my hands full of camera while I want to be site-seeing.
The function section of this camera (SCN) is SUPER fun. You can take pictures where you turn everything in the photo black & white except selected color(s). This yields some AWESOME artsy shots with no effort (seriously, take pictures in candlight, where the color of the candle light is the only color – AMAZING!!!!). You can also swap colors to take wacky, fun photos. People will think you are a photography genius, and all you did was point and click. There is also a straight B&W mode, and sepia mode, like most cameras.
All in all, I CANNOT imagine having chosen any other camera.
1 Star Flawed camera.
Had the camera for about six months now. Very happy at this point that I bought an extended warranty.
Anyway, I’m not sure if its a problem with just my camera, but from day one I have had problems with the camera not focusing correctly. If anything is in motion at all the picture is blurry. Even staged portraits often come out blurry. I love the zoom ability of the camera, but couple it with the focus problems and it is darn near useless. When the pictures do come out, they come out very nice, but this camera does have problems with low light situations. Additionally, the battery life sucks. I shot around 100-120 pictures in around 1.5 hours and had to change the battery… sounds like a lot of pictures, but really its isn’t when half of them are out of focus.
Last weekend, the camera started having other problems. You look at the display on the back and the image on it shifts left and then right over and over again. I mean big jumps that could take half your subject out of the frame. Put an ear to the camera body/lens and you can hear it constantly adjusting when it is doing this. So, returning this piece-o-junk today… not going to get another one if I can help it.
4 Stars Canon SX200 IS
I have only had the camera for a few weeks and haven’t had much time to play around with it, but it’s quite simple to just pick up and start taking pictures. So far I have been very impressed with both the still picture and video options.
The one drawback that I have noticed is that when I am taking pictures, if I am holding the camera with one hand instead of both hands, I frequently hit the “play” button which displays the pictures already taken. There have been many times when I am about to take a great photo of our kids and then it switches to the play setting and I lose the opportunity to take it. The button is just in a bad place on the camera. That is the only drawback I have found so far. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the camera.
1 Star A shame
I don’t really like this product!
I find that is not comfortable the pop up flash.
The lens retraction is really TOO slow the same as the shooter (easy to lost THE moments).
The auto setting MANY times fails (really bad), you can’t trust on it to take a good picture… Is better to use manual settings.
The light capture is deficient the most of the times (it’s a shame, maybe the worst).
It was a big deception for me.

4 Stars It works!
O.K., you can’t find the Canon LP-E6 for your 5D Mark II without getting hosed big time by the supplier. This 7.2V 1800mAh Li-ion battery will do the trick until Canon gets its act together.
It appears well-made and identical to the Canon LP-E6. It powers the 5D Mark II nicely. That said, you should know:
1. DO NOT use the Canon charger–it will ruin the battery. Use the included charger. I labeled my battery AND charger so there will be no mix-up with the batteries.
Battery comes without a charge, but charges quickly. They recommend letting the light go green for two hours before first use.
2. Since there is no internal microchip, you can’t check the power level of the battery in the field–not even on the camera’s top LCD panel!
That said, the battery only costs [...] bucks as opposed to being gouged for $[...] plus, and it doubles the 5D Mark II’s already impressive capacity in the field.
3 Stars shipped timely, doesn’t support battery level indication in Canon 5D mark II
Works just fine, except that this isn’t compatible with my Canon 5D Mark II’s battery indicator. There must be a chip that Canon puts in their battery so that the camera can read the charge level or something. So, I don’t really know when I’m getting low on battery with this one. However, it is much more affordable than the Camera battery, and this is working just fine as a backup battery.
4 Stars es una buena opcion para emergencias
La compre no confiando mucho, pero por el precio en el momento no tenia mas opcion, es buena dura lo suficiente para q carge la que trae la camara, lo malo que tiene es que la camara no te dice cuanto le queda ni nada de eso, la usas hasta q sola se apaga!! pero me salvo la vida en mas de una ocacion.
4 Stars You’d be a fool (or rich) not to buy two of these…
PROS
====
1. Beyond Inexpensive…
2. Works Wonderfully!!
3. Impeccable battery life for the price
4. Works as a back up battery charger (it’s supposed to charge the ‘genuine’ canon LP-E6)<--will I ever test it to find out? Only if I have to...
CONS
====
1. Doesn’t communicate with the camera –> A. no battery meter to tell you how much power is left / B. you can’t use the ‘battery memory’ options…(i.e. – the camera won’t remember the battery and how much charge is left should you pull it out and reuse it later) <--see your manual if you don't know what I'm talking about here.
2. You can’t use the standard battery charger…it will ruin the battery.
Conclusion
==========
Please read the title of this review again…
Yeah, I mean it…this battery really packs some good power. I mean, it really performs equally to the LP-E6. So you loose the convenience of knowing how much charge you have left. Not a big deal, just charge before you go and pack a spare…
Better yet, buy two of these batteries, compared to buying the genuine ones..you’ll be able to afford the generic battery grip – that’s where this battery shines…(in pairs)
(Zeikos ZE-CBG5DII Battery Grip for Canon 5D II) <-- be sure to check out my review of the battery grip...
I don’t mind not knowing how much power I have left as long as I know I have a ton of power. It’s kind of like having a broken fuel gauge on your car. Just fill up regularly (recharge) and keep track of your miles (power consumption) you’ll never have a problem…I haven’t yet.
I’m thinking of getting four, I’ll never run out of power!!
(I would have given 5 stars if this battery communicated with the camera) <--P.S. -- buy this item from BargainCell, you won't be disappointed in their service.
