Canon Battery or Generic?
I am purchasing the Canon SD600 and will need a spare battery. Do I
need to by a "real" Canon battery? Can someone recommend an equivalent generic battery that costs significantly less and the source? Thank you in advance |

Thank you in advance The majority will likely disagree with me, but I believe you're better off with the original battery - or at least a name-brand replacement, like the one Duracell offers for this camera. With "generic" replacements, there's some slight risk that their characteristics may throw off charge indicators and charging circuits; or possibly even damage the camera. Plus, if anything goes wrong under warranty, and you're using non-authorized parts - guess who the manufacturer will blame? (Right or wrong). |

I use generics, but I don't know what brand they are -- they are generic. Order from someplace reputable like b&h and you'll be fine. B&H is an excellent source for cameras and related equipment, but their battery prices are usually quite a bit higher than what you might find at Adorama or J&R, which are also reputable dealers. |
