  Ok so I as looking for a few extra batterys for my camers the 20D. I found a few site but there are some huge differences in price. If I go with the cheaper one is it the same or is there a catch.

  Here are some links—

  Hi Shane.
  Normally when there is a big price difference, it is due to a higher charge capacity of the battery & original camera makers V’s third party. In this case however, both are third party & there’s only 90mAh difference in the charge. I would be tempted to go with the cheaper one here, but it may not be made to the same specs as the other. On the + side, it does offer a 2 year guarantee, so they must be ok.

  I’ve been using third party batteries (bought from 7 day shop) for my 30D and 40D since I got the cameras and have never had any problem with them. I normally have 2 of them in the battery grip and they last well to over 1000 pictures. So I would always go with the 3rd party ones.
