We were shocked (not really) to see how expensive it was to purchase a new one.until I went to Amazon.com and found the Canon NB-2LH rechargeable one on their site. When our Rebel XT Digital SLR camera stopped working only after 13 months, we thought it would have to be repaired. But while searching online, people said that it could be the battery.
I think it is worth the extra dollars to make sure the battery is there for you when you need it. 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.
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. 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. 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.
I relly enjoy have a back up. Is money that you tink are wasted. But take picture at the right time without battery.
Don't waste your money on the cheaper knock offs. This battery is a good value for the money.
