is this a genuine Canon battery or a third party/grey market battery?

The one I received was an actual Canon battery. I tried it out already with charging and using it and it is fine. I am happy.

I bought mine from J&R; Music. This one has all the correct markings on it for a genuine Cannon Battery... and the price is about right. If this is exactly what you get from them in the mail I think it is the genuine article.

Daniel, this is a genuine Canon battery, not a third party one. If you click on the link below the picture, it takes you to the page featuring the battery. Under the title, it says "by Canon". If it was a 3rd party battery, it would have a different name with the "by" and, if I recall from my Amazon research, the title or somewhere in the description would have something to the effect that the battery is compatible with Canon cameras. Anything that says "compatible with" is a 3rd party battery, not the genuine thing. Hope this helps. Ruth.

This is an actual battery by Canon for the Canon camera. I bought one for my wife's camera and another for my camera as backup. They work great. We charge them up and switch them out, once one of them runs out.

As the photo of the battery shows, this is a genuine Canon assessory, Dan. I always have a fully-charged backup battery in my camera case when I take my camera anywhere. It has saved me many times when traveling in Europe.

The one I bought from AZsales was a great reproduction of an actual retail version. But at the end it wasn't legit and my camera wouldn't accept the battery. It may be branded a Sony but isn't made by Sony. Beware!

To make sure (as much as possible) that it is the "real" Canon product you are seeking, purchase it from a reputable retailer such as B&H; or Adorama. Amazon is great, but you have to do your homework on the retailers they associate with ... just like you would on the world famous "Flea-Bay" auction site.

Yes this is a Canon Brand battery. It looks just like the photo appears with the Canon trademark on it. Be careful when checking other listings. I had to double check, some listings are impostors. Read the fine print and scroll down the page to see pictures of the product.

It's a proprietary Canon 3.6V Lithium-ion battery. But, the camera comes with a recharger.I like it.

The battery sold by Amazon.com is genuine, same good quality as the original one with the camera body.Not sure about the other ones sold by other vendors though...

I had the same concern, this is genuine and working fine, no issues. I cannot tell the difference between this and the one that came with the camera.

Buy the battery sold by Amazon directly. I think there are 3 listings in total. You are likly to get a fake battery 99% of time buying from a 3rd party. I went through 2 of these batteries on eBay and one other one here on Amazon and all of them claimed to be authentic but none of them are.

Yes, the cartridge is genuine Canon brand. I examine the cartridge with the ones I bought from the store.

Just for you, I checked the label on my original and extra battery, thoroughly mixed up over several years. Both have authentic Sony labels so I would guess fakes reported by others are relatively recent. With respect to the comment about "G", below, note that it is a size moniker <http://community.futureshop.ca/t5/Cameras-Camcorders/what-is-the-difference-between-a-G-type-and-a-N-type-bat/td-p/274164>

I ordered this battery from another seller on Amazon and it was fake. Amazon accepted the return and refunded my money. I haven't replaced it yet because I, too, want an authentic Canon battery. I would hope you can trust Amazon and you can return it if you have concerns about its authenticity.

Yes it is genuine! It is exactly the same as the battery that I got with my camera.

Order from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller; there are a lot of Fakes out there. I just got this battery from Robert Rappley as a New/Refurbished one for a good price, not Amazon, and it's clearly a fake. Rounded on top where it should be flat making it hard to insert, Logo Font is different, weighs 52g vs. 78g for a genuine Canon. Labels on reverse are faded and lettering is unclear. What is clear is that I received a Fake battery. I've contacted seller for full refund.

I am not sure it is a genuine Canon part. However, it fits perfectly and works, so who cares?

it is an aftermarket battery but I think it is just as good as the Canon labeled one. Of course, Canon doesn't make batteries so the ones with a Canon label aren't made by Canon either.

The markings on the battery compared with the one that came with the camera are identical. I have no reason to believe that the purchased one is not genuine.

It's US Market, NOT GREY Market at all. I register mine I bought here on my Canon CPS support account.
