Negative evaluate:
- The battery has good and like 1/3 less power. Above all, the performance difference makes with the appropriate use of lenses with image stabilization and "diligent" use
the zoom noticeable. Here, the replica does not come close to the original.
- The "level indicator" unfortunately comes only shortly before death in motion, if at all. Often the message appears shortly before zooming "Please replace battery" and if you previously located
was sure that the battery life was still at maximum, so this is more than unpleasant.
Another positive:
- The build quality is good and comes very close to the original.
- A low-cost alternative (if you can live with the small imperfections)
Since I had often left with long photo tours down the LP-E8-replica and the performance does not match the expected level, I can only give 4 stars.
--------------- Addendum dated 13.04.2013 -------------------
Was contacted by the seller and the battery has been replaced for free under warranty. For this great service I give a lump sum 5 points.
After 2 weeks of testing with the new battery, I realized happily that this model matches the original battery in nothing. The rating I have therefore corrected from 4 to 5 stars.
