Extended battery for Canon FS100 What's a good extended battery to get for the FS100? It doesn't have to be by Canon. Just looking for a cheap, simple solution to carry around with me...

Have you tried this new generic battery and charger yet? I have read reviews from some people about generic batteries that don't really work or charge well. What do you think? I need to buy several batteries for traveling without electricity for charging.

Here's the best deal I could find for a battery and charger.http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-Charger-BP-808-BP808-for-Canon-FS10-FS11-FS100_W0QQitemZ300267280213QQihZ020QQcategoryZ43433QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262

No, the batteries are not the same. The new battery is the ID/security battery with a microchip to prevent any aftermarket/generic battery from being used. The only batteries that will be guaranteed to work in the FZ40/100 will be the Panasonic OEM. The generic companies may be able to beat the system temporarily, but camera updates will make them inoperable. Study the issues with the original LX-3 battery. Same story, high price, limited availability.

Hi Daniel.. I did not buy an extra battery for this unit. I did purchase 2 units and normally when I shoot outside I use only one light as a fill light and use reflectors. If one battery does not last long enough, I just simply use the battery in the second unit. So far I haven't needed more than just the one battery. I'm sure replacement or additional batteries are available. Thanks for your question....

I have a canon SX260HS. I did a search in Amazon for batteries that fit this type of camera. These batteries were the ones that were listed. I ordered the batteries for backup because I was going on vacation. I have not used them as yet. The batteries I purchased with the camera work well with video and zoom.

Beverly,I'm a bit confused. The battery I ordered from Amazon was the larger NP-FV70, not the NP-FV50. I believe I may have mentioned the NP-FV50 as a better choice for someone that wants a smaller battery between the NP-FV30 that came with the camera and the larger NP-FV70. As such, I can't comment on that battery or the vendor that sells it. But I can comment on the larger NP-FV70. It lasts a long time on the camera. I haven't even come close to draining it. But it is a fairly large (and heavy) battery on a small, light camera. It's not an issue for me, but it might be something to consider. For the money, I'd probably go with the larger battery.Rick Beverly,I'm a bit confused. The battery I ordered from Amazon was the larger NP-FV70, not the NP-FV50.

Yea with my experience you wanna go with the more expensive batteries that are made to last longer go to best buy and ask or go on google and search best batterys for digital camera theres batterys that handle better for these cameras and possibly look into rechargeable batteries

No, this is NOT a Canon battery. It's the same battery that came with my Powershot SX700. The only difference I notice is that is doesn't say Canon on it, and it's over $30 less expensive.

I don't know if you are referring to the battery or the camera? I find the battery does not last long, which is why I bought this additional battery as back up. I keep it with me while I am photographing. If you review your photographs on the camera after you take them, it uses up a lot of battery power, so I do not do that. Depends upon how many photos you take. If I am out all day photographing, the battery might last for one day.

You bet! I highly recommend purchasing this battery because:1. It fits the T5i2. It is a "REAL" Canon battery and not a 3rd party aftermarket battery.Canon is VERY SENSITIVE about 3rd party aftermarket products for their cameras, etc. They claim an aftermarket battery could harm your camera. I'm not an electronics expert, so I'm forced to take their word for it. After all, I spent a lot of $$$ for the camera, etc. and don't want to take a chance for a few $$$.I hope this helps!

I found the battery lasted all day - taking around 200-250 shots, with perhaps a dozen or so also with flash. I would assume it would last a bit less with more flash use, but I was fine with how long it lasted. I plan on getting another battery just for backup, but for most folks, one battery should be fine.

This is very simple to find out. Use good to find what kind of batteries that camera uses. Then, see if NP-FV100 (or NP-FV70, the smaller version) fit it. Its a simple Google search.

The S8000 was top rated in Consumer Reports. What is the story with having to leave the battery in the camera to charge it? Everything I have read seems to indicate that the S8100 is well worth the extra money.

Too late but....Don't buy camera with external AA batteries. I have a Canon A400, is the cheapest from Canon but Rechargeable batteries can make you spend more money. Buy with NiCd/mAh/lithium-ion integrated like SD600. Rechargeable AA batteries (I have Energizer 2100 mAh) won't last more than a year or two and now I have to buy more.

I agree with the answer below. Plus, I contacted the store and they got right back to me. The battery is great with my Lumix, and I have an fh-24. Good luck.

Works great....but the one I bought was for my 40D. It doubles the battery power for longer shooting. I also have the same for my 20D and for the same reason.

Only issue I know of is the cost of Canon batteries. I bought an aftermarket package on amazon with a charger and two batteries for under 20 bucks. I believe it was supplied bu Batteryfly whom I have used before and have had no problem. One advantage of this type of battery is the size. Take up a lot less space and weight then sets of AAs.
