Is this a true Canon product or a knock off? On Canon Website the cost is $187.

It's the real deal. I bought one for my daughter's T3i and it's Canon OEM. Canon usually charges list or MSRP price while Amazon (and B&H;, Adorama, etc.) discount. It's a good accessory to have, especially if you're doing video or extended live-view shooting.

As far as i can tell the one that was delivered to me is a real cannon product. It came in a cannon box and has what appear to be gold plated connectors in the battery magazines. A feature you probably would'nt see in a knock off. I understand you're concern i thought the same thing. I'm very happy with mine. One problem i did find is there is an on/off switch that if left on will run the batteries down even when the camera is shut off. the camera will operate normally while this switch is left off. So i don't know what the switch does.Hope this helps you.

I specifically bought it because it was "OEM Canon" -- Original Equipment Manufacturer. I don't buy knock-offs. I've had no problem with this ink. You are correct to be careful.

I received my lens, which was not shipped for 12 days after my credit card was charged, and while the packaging was marked "Canon", it looked more like a package that a refurbished one might come in. However, nowhere did it indicate that it was refurbished, but I suspect that it might have been.

As far as I know it is an original. I have 2 of them and they work great. I like this model because the battery sits down in the unit when charging and it has 2 separate light indicators, "orange" while charging, and "Green" when complete. For your question, on the back, it has information about the charger, and at the bottom, it says "Canon Inc. Made in China". It doesn't have any of the misprints in spelling that are found on many of the knock-offs, so my opinion is that it is a Canon product.

I hope it is: I purchased it from Amazon, came in Canon packaging and I've never had a problem with it.

No that is not. I have two of these and neither one has given me any problems. Don't let the cheap price fool you, these items have been rated very high and I read many reviews before making an order. Someone should fix this problem for you. As long as you have actual canon name brand legit batteries, you shouldn't have a problem. I would call or email them and let them know. I'm sure you can get an exchange. Hope this helps. On a side note, they sent me two when I ordered one. I have no idea why

Yes, the one I received was marked Canon and came in a Canon Box. I did not find anything to question about it,

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.

Thanks CAMPJEEP.Most of my photos will be outside, so it sounds like I should be able to expect well over the stated 260 shots (CIPA standards).I'll purchase a backup battery to be safe. Probably the Maximal after market battery listed here on Amazon. Only $3.45 and the reviewers say that it lasts as long as Canon's.Thanks again.

There are a number of non-OEM (not Canon that is) suppliers of this identical grip for a third of the cost. I have one I bought, after a year and a half I can say with confidence it works every bit as well as the original. That and the fact that I could buy 3 for the cost of Canon's made me willing to take the chance. Probably manufactured by the same people that make them for Canon as a matter of fact. Like Moe, I'm a CPS member but tired of the manufacturer raking us over the coals for accessories (check the price of a lens cap for instance!) after we've already spent thousands of dollars on equipment.

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

Make sure the price you pay for this battery is at least above $30, (those $10 "claimed" NB-7L batteries are all OEM. Also, genuine Canon Battery has a good ,shiny plastic housing, with clear marking. Lastly, make sure the battery you received has the original Canon package ( ie not open up where the battery can be taken out. The genuine one a pair of scissors to cut open, NOT just readily opened) My experience is that I received a battery ( with scratch mark , dull looking plastic housing), also even the package is genuine Canon, but it can be opened by hand, that mean the battery inside can be replaced readily ) .

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.

there are references to this question in many other customer reviews. I have seen little evidence that there has been a problem with its authenticity; product came in the customary canon packaging, warranty paperwork and I have no complaints the product has performed as advertised.

From the picture it looks identical to the BU-20 I got from Canon's eStore this month.To be fair, Canon doesn't seem to offer much info on this product either. I'll probably post a review once I've used it some more.

From what I understand it is made by canon but it's made for other countries. So, basically it's a canon without the warranty. I've used mine quite a bit and haven't had a problem yet.

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.
