5 Stars great spare
Bought as a spare for a recent trip. Worked wonderfully. Never got either main or spare down to the “low battery” warning. Took plenty of movies and flash pictures, both this and the OEM battery seemed about equal. Very unscientific test, but if you are planning a trip, this will compliment your OEM battery wonderfully.
2 Stars Last Short Time Than Original Canon Battery At First Charge
It last shorter than the original Canon Battery at First charge, don’t know after yet.
4 Stars For the price, this battery is a steal!
Dollar for dollar, this battery is just as good as any, if not better! It won’t outperform a Canon battery, but it works well and will definitely get the job done. Save money and buy this battery instead of buying Canon batteries.
5 Stars Great Battery Life!
After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit concerned about how these batteries may stack up next to the canon battery that came with my rebel T1i. I ultimately purchased two of them, because I was expecting them to die relatively quickly and need to be changed more often than the canon battery. It has actually been the exact opposite so far. My canon battery lasts noticeably LESS long than either of the Opteka batteries. Maybe I received two particularly good copies, but for the price I have been more than pleased with these batteries.
5 Stars Great company for batteries and grips
I am very pleased with all products from Opteka. I use the battery grip on my Canon T1i and have had no problems with the batteries. I have shot 300 pictures plus without even loosing one bar. I would recommend both the batteries and the grip to any one.

4 Stars A little big but….
A little big but all kinds of room to store camera and other camera stuff.
4 Stars Thoughts from a owner with a 7D + Lenses
My star rating reflects only the quality of the bag itself. As to whether everything fits or not, I believe is my responsibility. I got this bag for a 7D with a 17-55mm F/2.8 and a 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 + both lens hoods and a basic sunpak tripod.
All the above will not fit in the bag if either lens is mounted on the camera. You will have to store the body and lenses separate in the bag to make everything fit. Also, attaching the lens hoods in reverse to the lens for storage will also put the two lenses too close for comfort. Everything has to be taken apart for everything to fit.
That being said, if you own no lens hoods, you can easily get both lenses to fit + a 3rd and maybe even a 4th.
the tripod hang pretty well off the bottom with the straps. I took this bag through a rock cave and even through all the abuse everything survived fine.
I think I will opt for a bigger bag and use this one for my XSi and its two kit lenses. That seems like it will be a better fit.
The overall quality of this bag is good. The clips that holds the bag closed works fine. The two side pockets can comfortably hold 3-4 filter cases (B+W sized cases). My only complaint is the strap system for the tripod, It holds the tripod no problem. It doesn’t slip. However the straps do have enough play to allow the tripod to shift around does get annoying.
Overall, I think I underestimated the size of my gear and got a bag that’s too small for me. Can’t blame Canon for that unfortunately…If anyone has any specific questions for me for want a picture of how I have my gear arranged let me know.
5 Stars Great bag
This bag is a perfect size for my Canon camera and 2 lenses plus some extras.
4 Stars Very Happy!
I got this bag after having to return a bag that I had bought on Amazon that proved to be too small. I am just starting out, don’t have many accessories, and this bag is just perfect! Comfortable, and a great price.
5 Stars Canon gear bag
This bag holds my Canon 1000D and an extra lens very well. The contents fit snug and are protected adequately. It also has room for manuals, chargers, cables, etc. I would purchase again for other cameras.

5 Stars NOT FOR THE Canon 50D
I ordered this with little investigation…..for all of you canon 50d owners it is not for your camera. This plug is a small one prong plug the 50d has a larger three prong plug.
I am sure the product is great for the price if it work work on my stuff!
5 Stars works great
works much better than aftermarket release. definitely buy. some people say the cord is too short but its the perfect length. if you want a longer cord go to your local radio shack and purchase rca cables i believe, and a couple reducer pieces. if you go there and bring the shutter release you should be able to find everything that youu need. i have roughly 30 ft of cable now, which is nice to be able to set the camera outside near a busy bird feeder go inside and creep out a window and fire away. ive gotten some pretty amazing backyard bird pictures this way.
3 Stars Typical Canon – over priced accessory.
This is not as bad as some accessories but still, $23.00 for plastic is bad.
It does the job and works fine. Cord is too short for my liking – YMMV.
5 Stars Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3
The Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3 is more than I thought it would be I am using the Canon Remote Switch as a left hand shutter button as my right hand has nerve damage. I have a L video bracket that I mount on the left side of my Canon EOS REBEL Xsi and taped the Canon Remote Switch to the L video bracket works very well.

5 Stars Remote switch for Rebel XS
I bought the remote switch for my Rebel XS and what else can I say but it performs its task beautifully, it allows me to set up the camera on a tripod and reduces the amount of camera shake by not having to to push the shutter button on the camera, yes the cord is a little short if you are looking at it for self-portraits, however as a tool to help prevent camera shake when using a tripod this is superb!
