With two of these in my T2i's battery grip, I am confident that I'll be shooting for a long time. With only one (in the body), I was amazed at the life, even when the camera had sat for a few weeks. As an owner of several Canon products, I have to say that the power consumption characteristics are very good, and I believe that using Canon brand batteries is probably the best way to maximize my cameras' capabilities.

Comments about Canon LP-E8 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1120mAh):
I have a Canon Eos Rebel T5i. I suggest getting at least four to five of these batteries to have fully charged in your bag at all times. Especially if you're shooting videos with your DSLR. They're not that expensive, and you don't want to have to worry about battery time when you're out in the field shooting.

Comments about Canon LP-E8 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1120mAh):
This battery is for my Cannon T4i camera. It has a good capacacity and lasts for a long time. I only rated it a 4 because Cannon made better batteries than this for my old camera. They were 7.4V 1390mAh batteries. With those batteries on my old 40D I have taken 500+ photos on one battery. With this new style battery I could probably take 300+ photos.

Comments about Canon LP-E8 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1120mAh):
I use the battery for filmibg sketches and photography. It's a good battery. It lasts me around 3hours with constant use and takes about 1 hour to charge. I wish it was quicker to charge and was thinner, but it works fine and its super easy to use.

Comments about Canon LP-E8 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1120mAh):
This is an authentic Canon battery and it was shipped and received quickly. Avoid the imposters being sold on other sites and get this battery pack. Read the 1 star ratings of other "big name" sites and you'll see the biggest complaint -- they received a cheap copy even though the picture in the ad was a Canon.

Comments about Canon LP-E8 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1120mAh):
I had bought a replacement battery (that was not Canon Brand) for my Canon T2i. That battery was a lot cheaper, but after 2 years of use it could no longer hold a charge. That's why I went with this Canon-branded battery, hopefully it will continue working past 2 years like the other Canon-branded battery that came with my camera. Don't fall for the cheap off-brands, they don't hold up long-term!

It's great. Standard battery- charges in only a couple hours and as long as you aren't running your dslr as a constant video recorder it lasts quite a long time. 2 of these are all you need as a still photographer.

Performed as expected without worrying about third party battery issues (life, defects, damage). Yeah, I know there are a hundred threads on every photography site listing all of the third party batteries that work just as well. There are just as many that describe poor/unreliable performance and sometimes camera damage. I figured that shelling out for the real deal was worth the extra [$]
