hard to say

It's hard to say because after waiting three weeks for it to be delivered, I got an email saying that it was no longer being carried by the supplier but that I could by it from another supplier for an extra ten dollars.

Buy an aftermarket battery

The Canon NB-2L is an OK battery, however, you can do much better by purchasing an aftermarket product. Specifically, Sterlingtek makes a replacement with a rating of 1100mah which is almost double that of the Canon's. The price on the Sterlingtek is only $19.99 (shipping is $6.99 but is free for orders over $60). The price difference is more than just a "few bucks" as another review claimed. Their web site is www.sterlingtek.com

Surprised at long life!

I'm knocking it down 1 star for costing as much as it does... In regard to the performance of the battery... it performed much better than expected on my recent trip to Japan. After all the negative reviews saying the charge does not last a long time, I was expecting to have to use my second battery everyday. The battery didn't die on me once, and I used it on average for 2 days at a time before recharging (about 70 pics a day)... never even got the low battery indication. Though, I did have the lcd off unless I was taking a picture. Worked great for me!

Update jun 2005: if you are using the battery when temperatures are below 40 degrees, the battery will drain faster, but pretty much all batteries of this type do... the charge will return when warmed up, though.... still a very good battery.
