There are better alternatives available at lower costAug 02, 2007
By NLee the Engineer
I usually stay with Canon accessories for my Canon cameras, just for the 'peace of mind' I can expect from the same manufacturer. But in this case, I see no reasons to choose this package (Canon CBK4-300 Battery and Charger Kit) just because of the brand name. Consider the following facts:

1. Canon is not a battery manufacturer. So those 2500mAh rechargeable NiMH cells are simply re-labeled from other vendors.

2. All 2500mA NiMH cells in the market are plagued by the problem of high self-discharge rate. That is, if you charge up a set of those AA cells and leave them in your camera for a few weeks, they may become completely drained before you can take any pictures.

For the price of this Canon battery and charger kit, you can buy an equally good 'smart' charger (for example, the Sony BCG-34HE4), plus eight of the latest generation LSD (low-self-discharge) cells such as SANYO eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, or Kodak Pre-Charged. Even though their stated capacities appear lower at 2000-2100mAh, those cells can hold 80% of their charge for 6 months or longer. So you don't always have to recharge your camera's batteries the night before, and you can keep another set of charged batteries as standby. This makes LSD cells much more suitable for digital camera applications.

Personally, I have retired all of my old-genreation (2500mAh) NiMH cells, and am using only LSD cells in photo equipment now.

These batteries really lastNov 15, 2006
By Al from Long Island
I went with the Canon batteries & charger to avoid any problems with the Canon digital camera they are used for. Whenever I've used rechargeable batteries in an electronic device, they never seem to last long enough. So for the camera, I went with the same brand batteries. I've taken probably 100 photos, use the flash and zoom often, and had the camera on for almost two hours straight in a photography class and the batteries still don't show any loss of power with respect to the camera's battery status indicator. And since this kit comes with 4 batteries, I always have 2 charged spares. Maybe cheaper rechargeables would work, but it wasn't worth the risk and hassle if they failed right when I needed them.

Great product - charger works well with other brands too.Aug 02, 2007
By JR Fent "4 8 15 16 23 42"
I've bought NiMH (nicknamed Nim-Hah's) from Canon, Energizer, Radio Shack, & RayoVac. We use them in exactly the same way and with the same load everytime. So it's easy for us to tell which gives us the best performance.

How we use them: dozens of flash pictures in a Canon digital camera
Results:
The Canon batteries can recharge the flash diode 30-50% faster than the other brands we tried.
The Canon batteries give us double or more snapshots before having to replace.

Final Note: Some critiques will say that they can't see the difference in value for the higher price. I would say "bull". faster flash warmup and less battery chnges are worth the difference.

Worth the MoneyMay 10, 2007
By Mental Mommy "Mental Mommy"
We tried to use a generic battery charger with our Canon and it showed. Our flash recharge time was longer, the lag between photos was noticeable, and the camera ate batteries VERY QUICKLY! With this charger and its batteries, we can use the camera for several outtings and take over 100 pictures, and even some video. We used it at a family event where I took a total of 20 minutes of video and 102 photos. When we got home, the batteries were not even blinking. I was very impressed! Even when you have to charge the two from your camera, you have 2 more ready to go! The batteries charge rapidly and we haven't had a single problem!

Great BatteriesJan 02, 2007
By Amy C. Lerma
I have noticed an over all performance upgrade in my Canon A630 since purchasing these batteries. They last a long time and the Camera operates faster all together. The lag time has reduced in between photos trememndously.
