It's not that cheap around 30. Prices have been raised to around 50.

thanks for your recommendation. But i just joined the Canongrapher's band wagon with a new 350D. so i guess i would want original Canon parts.

1st party stuff is overrated. I bought a pair of 1500mAH NB-2L batteries from Sterlingtek, which is 3rd party and they last a LOT longer than Canon's own batteries. Every since the 300D days I believe some 3rd party products are much worth cost efficient. I got both batteries for 50!

hmm ... seems like great deals. for batts i agree they are overrated. wat abt the east gear super power packs for 350D? are they anygood? i need to look for two batt packs for my hand grip.

but then for cable release i think yah original will work better. i demand that instantaneous" clicker on press of the button.

any way where to get the batt packs Vulpix0r mentioned? available from local shops?

The batteries (NB-2LH) from Canon are only rated at 720mAH, while the Sterlingtek ones are rated at 1500mAH, and lives up to its reputation after using it for 1 week with one charge.

The people on dpreview speak highly of it too, so it's a pretty good investment. Their batteries can be found on eBay, just search for "nb-2l 1200mah" and you will find their entries. Although it is stated as 1200mah, they will send you the 1500mah ones because their ads have not been updated yet.

Alternatively you can buy the 3rd party cable release made from China (Forgot the brand though). It functions and looks exactly like the RS-60E3, only cost $15 from MS Color. Bought it for my 300D last Dec and until today still working fine.
