Like getting a new camera:
My Cannon PowerShot SD450 camera battery (original to the camera) no longer held a charge. I purchased a new "compatible" off brand battery at a local big box store (for a little less money.) It would not even charge. At that point I thought I might have a throw-away CAMERA! Point is, the Canon NB-4L Battery Pack works like it is supposed to. I had forgotten how long the camera could go without need of a charge. Well worth the price.
It fits the camera and it works:
It's a battery, the right one for my camera and it works. I bought an after-market battery last time and it lasted only about half as long as an original Canon one that I got at the same time (about 18 moths as opposed to 3 years) so this time I've bought another original.
Best camera battery I've used:
When I bought my latest Canon digital camera about two years ago, I bought a second battery like this plus the recharger. The price is low enough that it has made purchasing the 2nd battery well worth it. I keep one in the camera, and the 2nd (charged) one in the camera case. I always have a battery ready to go when one runs out of juice. Battery life is much better than any regular or rechargeable AA camera batteries I've used in the past. Highly recommend to others.
OEM or nothing:
I've tried several compatible batteries for many electronic devices from camera, laptops, to mobile phones. Nothing beats the OEM batteries. They may cost a bit more, but they more than make up for it when you need the juice and it's just there. This is no different. Be sure and get the real deal.
