"5000 shot guarantee". Does this mean it will stop working after 5000 shots? What should be replaced to do more shots?

The unit is very durable and saying this does not mean it will only last 5000 shots. Many of the parts are replaceable but chances are you will use it until it wears out and replace it.

If you want to go for more than 99 shots, set the exposure counter to ZERO, then it'll shoot for all eternity or until your memory card is full, whichever comes first. By setting it to zero, I shot 520 frames doing a cloud time lapse before the card said full and stopped working. If you're going beyond the max 99, you can get your feedback of how many shot by your camera's display showing how many more shots you have to go before you card is full. Then a quick change of memory card and let 'er rip some more.

It will yield 3 shots in my experience. Must use it immediately and any more than 3 (1-double & 1 -1/2) will be watery.

so far I have only used it once. I took 9 or 10 shots. im planning to use it again in a few days. I checked to see if it still worked just yesterday and had no problems....

Using fresh ni-cads, I used it to take over 70 indoor shots and it was sill working. Have not tested upper limit.

Having purchased this battery, I reviewed it based on the fact that when I used it in my camera, occasionally during the shoot, the camera simply wouldn't fire. I'd then turn the camera off and then back on, shoot a few more frames, then same thing. I've since acquired another Canon brand battery, and retired this one to use as a "backup backup backup." After all, you never know, and if you truly run out all of your batteries and still need to shoot, having an unreliable battery is still better than having no battery at all. How long does the battery last? Can't say. . . got too frustrated with its unreliability to keep using it until it died. Sorry.

So sorry I haven't responded sooner, been having major internet problems. Have you "squeezed" the trigger back towards the bottle? If you did, and it didn't work, it may be defective.

Same problem here. Works for testing, but on site failed to work immediately or after a few shots. Sent it back.

The battery is a Lithium Ion Battery, and I actually think the lifetime is pretty anemic (is only 900mAh if I remember correctly). Still it's good for several hundred shots (fewer if you use a lot of flash), but if you are on a long vacation, that is not enough. I'd recommend getting a backup battery, preferably one with a higher capacity (e.g. 1100 mAh). Also, when it gives the "battery warning" you probably have less than 10-20 shots left before the battery dies.

FYI, when I got mine replaced, they honered the original warrenty(1 year) expiration date. I love this camera, 'cause no one knows your shooting when carefully placed in pocket! WEEEE! Got it replaced this last summer, current one still working great, although that same connection is getting to the spooky point! SO, I just B VERY CAREFUL now! 4 the price, and it's NO DETECTION ability, it's WELL worth it!

It seems that after one session of 50 or 60 shots you need to change the CO2 cartridges. They seem to leak if keep them in the gun overnight! Great gun very accurate and it's very quiet.

Had this B200 error code for almost a year now, just set it aside and used my 10 year old printer (still running strong btw). Well recently I had the need to start scanning again. Pulled this broken printer out and after fiddling with it for a bit I found that removing all ink and the "printer head" ( the black plastic on which the cartridges sit on) allowed me to bypass the B200 code and allowed me to scan. If you get any other error codes you might be able to bypass if you hold "OK" or "Stop" buttons for about 10 seconds or more. Hope this info helps some of you out there seeing as how this is a very common problem for all canon printers.

Plenty for me, but when I go to an event/party, 20-30 shots, is by far the most I'll take (otherwise people get sick of ya ;) and that doesn't even put a dent in the initial battery's starting point. I know they're always trying to sell extra batteries, but i think that is excessive. It lasts for a quite a while, including if it isn't used for a period of days.

The trick here is to get the Laserlyte far enough down the barrel. After putting it back in following an actual shooting session, I didn't take my time and didn't get it far enough down the barrel. Broke the switch after about three shots. Laserlyte replaced it free of charge, including shipping both ways. Worked fine, before and after said incidentI highly suggest eyeballing a regular round seating in the barrel, then putting the Laserlyte just a skosh further down. Pricey, but you get a great product and great service. Just sent my stepbrother one for his .45's. He seems to like it as much as I do.

their guarantee simply means if the sensor goes bad and you have a code set they will replace your sensor free of charge within the time limit they gave you. I hope this answers your question to the best of my understanding Thanks good job good luck bless you

Could be faulty cable, you might wanna check for continuity of its faulty. Triggers might be faulty too. Have you checked your settings on your strobe? You might wanna do some readings on your strobe manual. I know my trigger wont work sometimes. For a hundred shots i missed at least 4 out of 100...
