Much smaller and lighter than Mark II design. Gives sense of security knowing you have a backup. Holds a great charge. Price may be a tad high however that should lower as time goes by.

This battery lasted for over 1000 pictures, plus hours of lens micro-adjustments, mirror-locked cleaning, etc. This includes two shooting trips in sub-freezing weather. I just put a new battery in the camera, and I expect to get at least 2000 pictures off of that one.

The essential backup for your otherwise indestructible Canon 1D Mark III or 1Ds Mark III. With one in your camera, fully charged, and one as a backup, fully charged, you might be able to go around the world shooting images for a couple of weeks, maybe a month, before going home to charge your batteries. Keep a pocket full of CF/SD 8 to 16 gigbyte cards, however.

How do you review a battery other than to say it works or not. It works. It wasn’t defective. So I give it five stars.

This battery gives me from 1000 to 1400 shots. I do not know if there are any batteries that last long. Besides, I have a 28-300MM lens. This zooming needs more than regular battery. Two battery fully charged can give you a weeek worth of shooting in my opinion. It was a good investment to me.
