No worries mate - hopefully "good recommendations" is what we all do best here!

I guess that until a few people give them a try and report back (or have already done so) then there's really no way of knowing. My understanding is that the cells (not batteries) that are make in Japan are good, but the ones make in China are "not so good".

Yours is certainly better, it is good where help is given to keep costs down and I would get them from your supplier, but I live in England. I'll have a look for there equivalent here.

cheers.

If you go onto the Sterling Tech website you'll see that the costs of getting them from the US to the UK make them a very attractice buy.

i have mega-cell 3600 mAh and i have jupio 1600 mAh (japan) and original canon 1100 mAh (japan)

the mega cells are very good they last long even with a IS power absorbing lens on it , tha jupio's are good too and the canon are just for backup purposes

Rather than spend the money on Canon camera batteries, I buy them off ebay for about one-fifth the cost and they work great. Probably the same ones that Canon sells. After all, Canon does not manufacture batteries. They have them made by their supplier.

Yeah, sometimes, buy some good and cheap Canon batteries from the third-party is also a good chioce.
