Totally disagree, I think the main attraction for the majority of people is that third-party batteries are cheap.
AvTvM said:DECENT third party batteries are *NOT CHEAP*. they are fairly priced. Canon / all OEM brand batteries are excessively over-priced.

Valvebounce said:Hi AvTvM.
Absolutely agree, consumables, much like I wouldn't buy a Canon CF card and have tried and use lenses from other manufacturers.
Cheers, Graham.

Yes. Two hypothetical batteries with the same quality, the one of 2600mAh will last longer until unloading, and allows to take more photos.[email protected] said:Colleagues: I am sort of the "simple son" here, so forgive an ignoramus' question: assuming a hypothetical equal build quality, will a 2600 mAh battery last longer, perform better, give more shots than, say, a 1900 mAh battery?
