Is this battery a 'genuine' canon battery? I have seen in many reviews that this is certainly not. Has Amazon become untranslatable seller?

I ordered this battery from another seller on Amazon and it was fake. Amazon accepted the return and refunded my money. I haven't replaced it yet because I, too, want an authentic Canon battery. I would hope you can trust Amazon and you can return it if you have concerns about its authenticity.

I had the same exact experience as LexJl. Thankfully Amazon refunded my money. My battery came in Canon packaging, but did not have the authentic hologram that all Canon products have.

The one i received WAS Cannon...And IS much better than the aftermarket junk.

I have had no problems with it and works as well as the one that came with the camera. As far as I can tell it is a Canon NB-5L battery pack and looks exactly like the other one.

You need to watch out for suspicious sellers, right now they ahip from Amazon.com directly I assume they are a Canon reseller so yeah, I think. :P

Yes, this is the same battery as described on Canon's web site, but at a cheaper cost. That is why I purchased this on Amazon web site. It is the same battery.

Be careful to buy the one that is not just "fulfilled" by amazon but also sold by amazon. This will always come in original authentic packaging versus the third party sellers who sell on amazon and move a lot of suspicious looking cartridges (eg packed into plastic bags, missing canon packaging, etc...).

My answer is YES! It has the Canon trademark on it. I received it with the same cover that came with the camera. It is identical in every aspect to the original battery that came with the camera.

It is in fact the original Nikon battery. I read comments that talked about other people getting a knock off battery. I inquired with Amazon and they assured me it was the battery as shown. It is my understanding that if you click on others listed like buy used for less you will get and after market battery. I'm very happy with my purchase, I hope this helps. Michael

The battery sold by Amazon.com is genuine, same good quality as the original one with the camera body.Not sure about the other ones sold by other vendors though...

The one I received was an actual Canon battery. I tried it out already with charging and using it and it is fine. I am happy.

If you look at the picture of the back you can see that it is not Genuine. It is possible that some people are getting a genuine battery but that is just a sticker. If you want to see what real one looks like go to B&H.;

Perhaps none of the responses is right or wrong. Amazon pools the same sku numbers unless a particular supplier creates their own special one. So, everyone's "mileage" may vary since the battery you get may come from one of all the suppliers of this item. It's pretty poor in my view, but I would think Amazon, with its excellent reputation would stand behind you as the one in the pic is the original one and the description says it's the OEM battery from Samsung. Therefore, if it isn't, you should be able to return it in my view. It would also be VERY helpful if the person leaving the comment could say which actual supplier Amazon was fulfilling the order with. That may give us a better caveat meter to use.

Yes, received an original Canon battery and a replacement that that is for a Canon, but not made by Canon. It has worked fine. The Micro-HDMI A/V Cable I received did not work with the Canon; however, Amazon gave me a credit that more than covered the value of the cable.

The one I received was not a real Canon Brand battery. It looked like one but the packaging did not contain the authentic Canon hologram. The backside to the battery was different and also felt heavier. I was able to return mine and Amazon refunded me the money. Though the battery looks the same, ones that aren't authentic Canon brand batteries can actually damage your camera. Beware!

When I bought this battery I received an extremely convincing counterfeit complete with hologram seals etc.... However when I used them the battery would work well for while and then suddenly die. I would recommend buying from an authorized reseller like BandHphotoVideo. The price was comparable and you are guaranteed a genuine product.

Yes this is a Canon Brand battery. It looks just like the photo appears with the Canon trademark on it. Be careful when checking other listings. I had to double check, some listings are impostors. Read the fine print and scroll down the page to see pictures of the product.

Is this the battery that works in your Camera? I ordered it for my G10 aand it is the real cannon. When it says battery and cheap it's faux however I have bought one and it is good just as time goes by the charge does not last as long

It's is completely dead after 1.5 yrs. Tested the battery at 0 volt and charger won't charge it at all. Emailed support and it was non existent. The battery mAH is not as advertised, as the Canon battery can run longer than this. Save your money and get the Genuine battery.

I am another customer as well, but I had the same concerns you did. I received a genuine Canon LC-E6 charger in an original Canon package when I ordered this. I compared it top to bottom with the one that came with my girlfriend's Canon D60 she purchased at Walmart. No difference. It has the Canon logo stamped in it, same stickers, everything. Charges my batteries great. Genuine Canon product.
