Battery to the rescue
2008-10-07I have an older digital camera and previously ordered what I thought was the correct BP511A battery, nope didn't fit. Returned the wrong size battery and purchased this one and I was so excited that it fitted and now I can take digital photos again.
Best battery for your DSLR!
2008-09-28First party batteries are the the best if you want long life, compatibility, and to avoid any other issues that may arise. The hefty premium is worth the ability to take more shots than those 3rd party brands!
Works like it should.
2008-09-13Works just fine, allows a decent number of shots. I bought an extra battery to go with my BG2 grip and 40D. With two batteries you can shoot for quite a while.
Dont Buy NON-Canon Batteries For Your Pro-Equipment
2008-08-24Yeah I know Canon batteries cost more , but you get what you pay for. Sure you can get the same battery from a different company for as low as $5 on Amazon , but I wouldn't trust those batteries in my equipment. I used to think the generic batteries were just as good until I bought a few. Years later my canon batteries still work and the generics are both almost completely dead. Buy canon batteries for your canon equipment
Always use OEM batteries
2008-08-19I have not used this yet but its basically a rule you should always follow. Never buy cheap third party batteries. They usually do not last as long as OEM.
Any serious photography should carry an extra battery with them just in case.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot.
There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them.
When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
