Canon NB-4L Battery Pack for the SD400, SD630, SD600, SD750, SD1000 & TX1 Digital Cameras Reviews

• Great extra battery for your Canon SDXXX

  
  By A26DCH8BNG0BTO on 2005-02-24
  This is the exact same battery that came with my Canon SD200 camera (digital elph). I wanted to have a spare, and while you can find the replacement batteries (generics) for about 1/2 the price I really didn't want to risk anything going wrong by using any other type of battery. It takes a charge well and has a nice life to it, I am satisfied.
  
  

• Better than the generic(s)

  
  By A3U0T1NRG8G75E on 2007-07-12
  I use three batteries in rotation, as I am frequently travelling in places where there is no electricity. When I traded in my old PowerShot S410 for a new PowerShot SD750 I took a chance on buying two generic batteries ($12 instead of $42).
  
  Both generics were slightly less than perfect, in that they would regularly activate the 'low battery' icon/light even when they were fully charged. Occasionally, they would even evoke the 'change battery' message. On these occasions I had to open the battery compartment, partially remove the battery, then re-install it, in which case I could now proceed to take pictures with the same battery.
  
  My sense was that the total battery life of the generics was not dramatically shorter than the Canon original, although I did not attempt to measure this precisely.
  
  As soon as I was able (about a month after I bought them, as I was travelling at the time) I returned the generics to Amazon and paid full price for the Canon original. Although the generics could be 'worked around' it wasn't worth it to me, as I discovered I was more interested in taking photos than in saving $30 (times 2).
  
  

• Genuine Canon battery

  
  By A30NZYWSJ5WT7I on 2005-07-19
  I'm not sure what happened in the earlier reviewer's case, but I just received this product and it was a genuine Canon product (has the holographic Canon sticker in the upper-left, etc).
  
  

• over priced

  
  By A21EP2X3WKZ2EA on 2006-04-03
  $40 for a battery is ridiculous. Is there really a big difference between these and the generic Canon-compatible batteries that sell for $10? Canon-cameras are so power hungry that you really need to carry a spare battery with you most of the time.
  
  

• Canon NB-4L Battery - Not as Advertised

  
  By A3TL6WC12BSWQW on 2005-07-10
  Battery is advertised as a "brand name", i.e., Cannon NB-4L Battery Pack. The product received is not labeled by any manufacturer and specifically states "Replacement for NB-4L. I suggest that this is misleading advertising if this is not the original product as specified.
  
  To date the product has performed to my satisfaction. I was simply disappointed with the integrity of the transaction.
  
  
• Stick with the original
  By A3NWOHLOYSV8V3 on 2006-12-12
  If you are in need of a handy back up or replacement battery for your Canon camera, order this. I have purchased the "knock off" batteries claiming to be as good as the original for 1/2 the price, but beware, you get 1/16 of the battery life! The "compatible" batteries do not hold a charge well at all and I unfortunately found out the hard way, on vacation with no charger around. The compatibles were useless, I almost thought I hadn't fully charged two extra "compatible" batteries, but when I returned home and attempted to charge them, they both lasted long enough for the camera to power on even after the charger gave them a green light! I won't hammer the name of the compatibles due to the possibility of some fluke, but I wouldn't risk any of them.
  
  
• Hey, it works
  By A1HOS1D36R1YAJ on 2007-03-18
  It's just a battery, right? I ordered it and received it quickly, and it works as advertised. I suppose it's not that complicated.
  
  I would add that I do have a preference for Canon brand batteries over the generics. Although they are so much cheaper, it just isn't worth it when you discover that they don't hold as muh of a charge and deteriorate more quickly over time.
  
  
• Very handy
  By A3RQWOKHJJEQ6Y on 2006-06-30
  The value of having a second camera battery cannot be overestimated because the battery cannot be charged on the camera on most models. Swapping out batteries gives you continuous coverage and if you have a 2 Gig memory you can take a thousand pictures should you choose to do so. Moreover,the battery has a neat little cap with a built-in indicator which allows you to easily tell a depleted battery from a fully-charged one and eliminates the chance of spare change in your pocket or purse from shorting out the terminals. Strongly suggest you have one of these.
  
  
• Great price
  By ADO1FR4GR9KG2 on 2006-07-10
  Bought the battery pack far cheaper than I could find it in any local store or most online sites. I just got done using it during a two week vacation overseas and it worked like a charm. You should always have an extra battery. I would of missed lots of photos had I of not bought this.
  
  
• Canon original battery pack
  By A181FYNTI8JNOL on 2007-08-19
  I just recently purchased the Canon SD 1000 camera and wanted a spare battery to cary. I also have an older Canon camera and when I wanted a spare back-up battery I bought a brand other than Canon.The off brand battery did not last as long as the Canon battery.
  This time when I wanted a spare battery I bought the Canon as opposed to a cheaper off brand.
  I am looking forward to equal quality performance of both batteries.
  I would quess the old saying ,"You get what you pay for",would apply here. norrlip
  
  
• It's an OEM product, not a cheap compatible one
  By AFZQIMRZRKBJV on 2006-01-22
  It is the same as the one came with Canon SD450
  
  
• Great to have a second battery..
  By ATZLO2NSO5C3C on 2006-07-03
  I am so glad that I finally got my second battery for my SD630. Now I won't have to worry about running out of juice when I'm snapping away.
  
  The battery is the OEM canon battery, I'd rather go with genuine equipment just in case, you never know about off brands.
  Battery is identical to the one that came with the camera.
  
  
• A decent battery for the price
  By A2XJCPLUKUJ5LV on 2007-01-25
  It's hard to beat an OEM battery at about half the price you would have to pay at a local big box store. I have experienced satisfactory charge and run time for this battery in my Canon SD600.
  
  One thing to note: This was ordered with the "Super Saver Shipping". No problem, but I did notice like many other Amazon reviewers, that the order was listed as "shipped" almost a week before it actually entered the mail system. Amazon tracking said "shipped" but USPS tracking said they had been notified of a pickup request but that the item was not yet in their posession. And, as it turns out, wouldn't be for another 5 days. Anyway, the point is that there is a slightly misleading perception being generated by Amazon that your order is on it's way when in fact it is really sitting on their loading dock (or elsewhere) waiting for a weekly bulk pickup. And once it is "shipped", according to them, you can't cancel it, no matter how long it takes for a courier to actually pick it up off the dock.
  
  
• Can't beat the factory battery
  By A1UPQKLH1N0O3Q on 2007-03-08
  What can I say. It works just like the one that came with my Canon camera since it is the same one. This is always better than other brands that are rated for the camera.
  
  
• Great battery, a bit pricey
  By A1Z7FHIHKGONM0 on 2007-06-14
  This is a great battery, descent battery life, and charges quickly. It is a little pricey but since it goes with several models of the Cannon camera family, it helps with the cost of not having to buy diffeent batteries if upgrading. I have the SD400, very very early model and plan to upgrade to the SD750 and very glad to know that I will be able to keep the same battery and charger.
  
  
• Those batteries for my camera...
  By A30NLB0VCC2QDD on 2006-06-29
  It would be nice if the charge holds more than 300 shots instead smaller than 150 shots.
  
  Otherwise, they are small enough to drop in the front pockets. I had ordered 2 packs. It lasted us all day before need to be charged at night time.
  
  
• Battery for Canon SD630
  By AH6AHED2ZCG6G on 2006-11-06
  I bought this for backup for my Canon SD630. Works great! Definitely useful to have for travelling and long photo sessions.
  
  
• Wow!
  By A36EUBJ23CPIKQ on 2007-02-28
  I ordered this because I braced for the weak battery life of older Elphs. To my delight, the new batteries last a day, not an hour. The miracle of having an extra battery is -- no stress on those long weekends or if you forgot to charge the battery before the trip to the aquarium--pop this baby in and you're good to go for the whole day, no worries!
  
  
• Only buy OEM batteries
  By A1QM4RUMI964CY on 2007-04-10
  I made the mistake once of buying a cheap one off EBay, and it lasted about two charges. The Canon ones are much better - these last long anyway, but it was great to have a 2nd when going on extended vacations.

• Brand Misrepresented
  By A29R1NOIQJ0JXT on 2008-04-05
  I was seeking a genuine CANON NB-4L battery for digital camera. Item for sale was advertised as "Canon NB-4L Battery Pack for the SD40, SD630, SD600, SD750, SD1000 & TX1 Digital Cameras" Product received was different brand: "Digipower@RTM Replacement for: Canon NB-4L, Item #BP-CN4L."
  I am disappointed in product but did not want to hassel with return mail.
  
  
  
• unbeatable price, no shipping to APO
  By AYW4ECLO9IG5M on 2006-07-05
  Even with shipping, I saved at least 50% compared to Best Buy. I was very pleased with the price, however I had to mail the items to a friend in the U.S. who had to mail it to me in Iraq.
  
  
  
  
• Good, standard battery
  By A2XDO8K8KO2G65 on 2006-07-09
  I got this battery as a backup for my SD400 for my vacation. It is the same as and worked just as well as the one that came with the camera.
  
  
• Excellent purchse. Very happy. A+++
  By A1VHX2NH1YIVIP on 2007-01-03
  Very happy with this purchase. Would do again.
  
  
• Having a spare battery is a must.
  By A1XYC5TE3YU371 on 2007-05-01
  Can't say enough about bringing a spare battery when you're on an extended vacation.
  
  
• Great Battery
  By A3AQEL3BPQ332P on 2007-05-12
  Bought this battery as backup for a trip to Paris. It lasted through hundreds of pictures/3 days of the trip.
  
  
• canon battery
  By A1HVJBN2K0S5XI on 2007-09-18
  This was a replacement for the original battery for my wife's digital camera, a Canon SD630. It is, in fact, exactly the same as the factory original.
  
  
• Great Product!
  By A1XCM9LMMPY89N on 2007-12-07
  This is a great battery! Don't go with the cheaper generic brands. The offical Canon battery is worth the extra money and lasts a long time. We've had our oringal battery for almost two years before it needed to be replaced.
  
  
• genuie is often times better
  By ADPD9NIHCVN86 on 2008-04-05
  I only get and recommend genuine brand batteries for digital cameras. We pump a lot of images through our cameras, from point and shoots to digital slrs, so having spare batteries is a must. I've bought plenty of aftermarket batteries over the years and found that while some of these aftermarket batteries in the beginning exceeded the genuine batteries at a cheaper price, they all faded out within a month or two. Some of them to the point where they die after a couple of images. After "saving" money on these aftermarket batteries I realized that spending the money on the actual canon (or nikon, etc) batteries would have saved me considerably more.
  
  
• not bad battery
  By AP5FXFVD1EW23 on 2006-11-04
  This is the first time I have a digital camera, and first time use Canon battery. It's not bad. I hope i will have some goodtime with it
