Cost is definitely a lot less. You can purchase it in many camera shops and eBay. In terms of performance, it's hit and miss. I bought two copies of a third party battery. One is still operational and lasts as long as the original in use after each charge. The other copy died after half a year of use.

Get the sterlingtek batteries.. I've got 2. They cost alot less, and both of them quite a bit longer than the original.

I got from East Gear. Until now, finds no problem with it. Except the lifespan is abit shorter than my original one. Cost only $20+ during March IT show.

Recommend East gear's selection of 3rd party batts too. I love the ones i got from them. Top stuff.

Using the Camera Devices one from East gear, no problems thus far, but so far only one use. Battery life is longer than the original by a tad. Will be bringing it to Japan come year end with the original battery for more intensive usage. I paid 28.50 or something like that.

bought 1 spare batt from CP, so far so gd and lasts abt the same as the original, and the price is only $20

Sterlingtek ones are the best ones I know of for cheaper 3rd party options. Last long, reliable and the battery life is much better than Canon ones even after months of use.

I bought 2 recently from a shop at Sim Lim. For 30 bucks. It says 1500mAh. Technically twice more than the original (720mAh).

I have yet to test it to maximum capacity.

Yah I do. Someone conducted a MO quite long ago for the batteries. Perhaps someone here would be interested to conduct one again?

I use the one from Eastgear and is happy with it. High mAH capacity than the original too.
