I want to know if it is authentic. If it is, why was the Canon name taped over on both sides and why does the plug look so cheap?

Are you describing the charger that you have in your possession? Which plug are you describing as looking cheap? Is that the adapter for European electric outlets?

It seemed pretty authentic to me but then I don't think it looked and felt cheap either. The only place I see the Canon name is right across the front at the bottom and then on the back info sticker. I don't recall it being taped over both sides. I do now notice that the one I have - which has worked excellently since I got it over a year ago - says Canon Inc, Made in China. Don't know if that helps.

I didn't experience this when I bought mine. I wonder if the fulfilling vendor has changed. I wanted a second charger to cut down on the charging time for my two batteries. It looked identical to the one that I received with my 5dMKIII. Canon has a section on their USA site on how to spot fake/after market equipment. If you have a concern, I would check there.

I purchased this to replace the one that came with my camera that stopped working. Can't answer about it's authenticity. The Canon name was not taped over on mine. It works fine and is identical to the one that came with my camera. Hope that helps.

If it is from M&A; it is a refill, I recommend you buy a 'genuine" one from Canon.

Yes, it is a genuine Canon battery. It shows the same battery on the Canon website.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

I'm not an expert but my best advise is to go to the Canon website and check for yourself. Here's the link below http://usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon/standard_display/aboutcounterfeits?WT.mc_id=C202414&WT.ac=cusahpbanner_anticounter&cm_sp=AntiC-_-iNet-_-cusahpbanner_anticounter

Yes, This is the authentic one. I had the same concerns. I compared the packaging and the camera to the fake package and camera shown on youtube.Here is the link if you want to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICpGpF9-a4M I got mine from the seller BLUETTEK on Ammazon.Hope this helps.

I have 6 of these, and mine say CCD or something like that. I think anything writing on them makes it look fake. I took mine and spray painted over the writing. I dont want people to be able to google the name, only to find its fake.

As far as I can tell, yes it is. I've used it with no problems, the quality I would expect from Canon.

If it's not a Canon product, then this is false advertisement. Now someone says it is. Others say it isn't...AMAZON...what do YOU say?

It appears to be and was in a Nikon bag but suppose it could be counterfeit. It fits well and works good and I am happy with it.

As far as I know it is. It looks and works like a legit Canon. I've used it several times since purchasing and, as of now, have no regrets. I would buy this product again.

All of the packaging, hologram, etc appeared genuine and the battery has performed as a new Canon battery should, i.e. takes a ton of pictures before needing a recharge. i have no reason to suspect it is not genuine Canon.

it is an original canon item... Name brand in original package and all...just made in a different country. I bought it and its no different than the ones my friends bought in the store for much more. As far as I know, all canon products purchased new are eligable for manufacture warranty. You should check their website or shoot an email to find out what info you need to register your product.

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!

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.

My guess is that a counterfeit one would be manufactured better than the original one. So, I really wouldn't worry about it. It took 2 packages of the real ones to make one good working unit.

I'm no expert on counterfeits, but the product works well and it has the logos and website of LensPen on all of the items. I believe it is authentic.
