5 Stars Ok Battery Charger
This Battery Charger is OK for the specific battery that it is made for. However, there are other battery chargers that re-charge numerous types of batteries(e.g. Quantaray Battery Charger from Ritz Camera).

3 Stars Questionable quality
I broke my original Nikon charger by dropping it about five feet onto a concrete sidewalk. No visible damage, but it would not work after that. No complaints at this point and I ordered a new one. It arrived and worked fine for a week or two. Then it began to exhibit comnnection problems. Found the contacts where the battery met the charger were weak. Finally bought a Torx screwdriver and opened the cover. The contacts were fastened to the housing with a small spot of glue that pulled away from the housing. I reglued it but was sure it will not hold. Filled the mostly empty part of the housing with foam rubber and reassembled. Works fine now with the foam rubber holding the contacts in the proper position, but you should not have to redesign a new charger.

4 Stars Very Quick
The battery charger does what it is supposed to do! It is relatively quick and compact. If you have more than one camera bag (like me) get one for each and you will NEVER be caught out of town without it!!!

5 Stars Nikon Battery Charger
Purchased as a spare, in addition to the one which came with the camera, to keep in my bag at all times. Prompt service. Good product.

5 Stars Works Great
This charger works great. Just the same as the charger its replacing. It takes about an hour to charge the batteries for my D200, which is plenty fast enough.

5 Stars great bag
I really like this bag; usually i carry my E-5xx with the 40-150mm mounted, and the 14-42mm, still i have space for a flash, a mini tripod, three filters, the caps of the lens and camera, three extra batteries, sun blocker, and more if i want. I have it with me all the time when i’m shooting outdoors, it doesn’t bother me. Just think three lenses don’t feat in this bag, so don’t expect to carry all your gear here.

4 Stars Good Product
Good product, small but it holds my E-520 with 50mm F2.0 Macro lens attached and two kit lenses, 14-42mm and 40-150mm. the pockets hold lens cap and CF media. Has a good build quality. For the price it is a good buy.

5 Stars Great price
I use this with my Pantex DSLR. It fit all I have.

1. Camera body with 18-55mm lens attached.

2. 50 mm fixed lens.

3. 50-200 mm lens.

4. Len hood.

5. Battery charger.

I also put some sd card and data link in the front pocket.

4 Stars Great bag but, a bit small
I do like this bag but, I feel like I will outgrow fairly quick. It is great if you want to tote around the camera and 2 lenses but, this wont fit much more. It fits memory card, extra battery, a cleaning kit but, that’s about it. If you have an external flash and remotes and other things it wont fit. I even feel 2 lenses it’s a little jammed in there. So, might have to get a larger one later on. It’s great if you are going to travel though and for the price I think it is still useful!

5 Stars Olympus Evolt Camera Bag
The bag was exactly as advertised…. small, but perfect for travel. The compartment holds the camera plus 2 lens, charger, USB cable, etc. There is an adjustable shoulder strap in addition to a hand held strap (carry it like a purse). Quite functional and secure with 2 snap locks. Would definitely recommend.

High Capacity LP E6 Replacement Lithium Ion Battery With Charger for Canon Digital SLR EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera

This battey will not show time indicating on your LCD monitor. This battery does not charge with your original charger, you must charge this battery with the charger included in this package

3 Stars shipped timely, doesn’t support battery level indication in Canon 5D mark II
Works just fine, except that this isn’t compatible with my Canon 5D Mark II’s battery indicator. There must be a chip that Canon puts in their battery so that the camera can read the charge level or something. So, I don’t really know when I’m getting low on battery with this one. However, it is much more affordable than the Camera battery, and this is working just fine as a backup battery.

4 Stars es una buena opcion para emergencias

La compre no confiando mucho, pero por el precio en el momento no tenia mas opcion, es buena dura lo suficiente para q carge la que trae la camara, lo malo que tiene es que la camara no te dice cuanto le queda ni nada de eso, la usas hasta q sola se apaga!! pero me salvo la vida en mas de una ocacion.

4 Stars You’d be a fool (or rich) not to buy two of these…
PROS

====

1. Beyond Inexpensive…

2. Works Wonderfully!!

3. Impeccable battery life for the price

4. Works as a back up battery charger (it’s supposed to charge the ‘genuine’ canon LP-E6)<--will I ever test it to find out? Only if I have to...

CONS

====

1. Doesn’t communicate with the camera –> A. no battery meter to tell you how much power is left / B. you can’t use the ‘battery memory’ options…(i.e. – the camera won’t remember the battery and how much charge is left should you pull it out and reuse it later) <--see your manual if you don't know what I'm talking about here.

2. You can’t use the standard battery charger…it will ruin the battery.

Conclusion

==========

Please read the title of this review again…

Yeah, I mean it…this battery really packs some good power. I mean, it really performs equally to the LP-E6. So you loose the convenience of knowing how much charge you have left. Not a big deal, just charge before you go and pack a spare…

Better yet, buy two of these batteries, compared to buying the genuine ones..you’ll be able to afford the generic battery grip – that’s where this battery shines…(in pairs)

(Zeikos ZE-CBG5DII Battery Grip for Canon 5D II) <-- be sure to check out my review of the battery grip...

I don’t mind not knowing how much power I have left as long as I know I have a ton of power. It’s kind of like having a broken fuel gauge on your car. Just fill up regularly (recharge) and keep track of your miles (power consumption) you’ll never have a problem…I haven’t yet.

I’m thinking of getting four, I’ll never run out of power!!

(I would have given 5 stars if this battery communicated with the camera) <--P.S. -- buy this item from BargainCell, you won't be disappointed in their service.

4 Stars It works!
O.K., you can’t find the Canon LP-E6 for your 5D Mark II without getting hosed big time by the supplier. This 7.2V 1800mAh Li-ion battery will do the trick until Canon gets its act together.

It appears well-made and identical to the Canon LP-E6. It powers the 5D Mark II nicely. That said, you should know:

1. DO NOT use the Canon charger–it will ruin the battery. Use the included charger. I labeled my battery AND charger so there will be no mix-up with the batteries.

Battery comes without a charge, but charges quickly. They recommend letting the light go green for two hours before first use.

2. Since there is no internal microchip, you can’t check the power level of the battery in the field–not even on the camera’s top LCD panel!

That said, the battery only costs [...] bucks as opposed to being gouged for $[...] plus, and it doubles the 5D Mark II’s already impressive capacity in the field.

5 Stars Fabulous Bag
Recently purchased this bag. Love it. Holds DLSR plus 2 extra lenses, flash attachment, video camera and all the needed accessories (extra batteries, chargers, memory cards, lens cleaner, etc.) Substantial bag. I have a backpack which I find annoying because you need to lean it up against something and then take stuff out to get to what you want on the bottom. What a pain. This bag is great – put it down, open it and everything is right there.

4 Stars review of cannon bag
large but holds everything you need ,plus , good build ,worth the money

5 Stars Canon Camera Bag
I was looking for a bigger bag that would hold my EOS 5D body with one lens attached plus another lens and a flash. I have not only room for that in the main compartment plus the battery charger and spare batteries and various cables in the side pockets. This bag is well made and has heavy duty handles and hardware.

5 Stars great bag
This bag has all kinds of room, I can’t wait to fill it up with some brand new lenes, well built and all materials are first class, heck, I don’t even own a Canon camera, but I sure like this bag!

5 Stars Sturdy, roomy bag
The bottom of the bag is solid. We only have a camera, a flash, and one lense in it, but the sturdy, velcro fastened sections keep them firmly in place. There are roomy side pockets for lense filters, covers, and other misc. items needed for the camera. We still have space in the bag for two more lenses. I looked around at different items before buying this item here. Amazon had it for the best price. I would suggest if you are looking to get it as a gift and want the free shipping, to order it at least a month ahead to be assured you will get it on time. It’s amazing how just a few dollars for shipping speeds up their processing.
