Canon NB-5L Lithium Ion Digital Camera Battery

NB-5L ----Good battery

Strengths: Long lasting

Weakness: Pricy

I like to keep a spare battery for my DC, especially on trips. I prefer a battery from the original manufacturer, which has the original good quality. Off-brand replacements are usually one grade worse.

Genuine Canon SD800 battery pack NB-5L review

Strengths: Genuine Canon battery; holds charge for very long time if not used, when used it holds for at least 250 pictures with flash and LCD screen on; Included protection cap for battery when it is not used.

Weakness: None.

I highly recommend to purchase a second battery for your camera, I am taking mine Canon SD800 underwater (with a underwater housing WP-DC9, sold separately), so I am prepared for it with - 2 memory cards (4 GB each and 2 genuine Canon battery packs). These are not AA batteries that you can buy on the go, get additional pack for the great shots to come. Have fun taking great looking photos! :)

2nd Time Purchaser

Strengths: Batteries have been exactly what was advertised...brand new, generic's,sealed packages, all worked perfectly

Weakness: NONE

This is the second time I purchased gerenic batteries for my camera's...they were reliable and exactly as advertised...I would highly recommend these products and I would purchase them again!

Impressively long-lasting battery for SD700 IS,...

Strengths: Charge does not take too long (+/- 2hrs); lasts forever-long in my SD800 IS; none-too-big for storage in appropriate camera case or bag.

Weakness: Somewhat expensive compared to regular alkaline batteries; no clear idea from packaging about length of warranty or extent of its coverage.

Even though people generally tend to complain about proprietary batteries, I've found that in this case the NB-5L is a pretty good deal, assuming you can purchase it in the mid-to-low $30 range. For light usage, I've had the battery last a week with no downtime (and I charged it only then because I had some events to shoot and not because the camera was indicating "low battery"). I actually own...

Canon battery

Strengths: Very compact compared to my last Canon camera. It took a charge quickly and works longer than I expected.

Weakness: None that I have found yet.

I am about to go on a big trip and wanted to have a backup battery for my new camera so there would be no battery issues. I went with a genuine Canon battery even though it was more expensive because the generic battery I had with my last camera didn't function that well.

great battery

Strengths: versatility, long life

Weakness: price

This battery lasts as long as the original battery for my SD850. I can go days taking many pictures before I need to recharge it. Having a spare battery allows me to quickly switch to a backup and continue to take pictures. Highly recommended for anyone using an SD 850 camera. If you shop around you can get a genuine canon battery and not a cheap knock off for about $40

NB5L

Strengths: OEM / long lasting / plastic protective cover

Weakness: Pricey

The battery itself is an OEM and it comes with a price tag ($$$) - but the battery will perform flawlessly - and a second (3rd in my case) battery is a must - if you go on an all day trip (with no possibility to recharge) and you like to take a lot of pictures - this is your "save the day" pack. Very efficient - highly recommend!
