Just about to get a canon 7d,.......................
i wonder if Nikon may have shot themselves in the foot..?
OK I'm at the bottom end financially but refuse to pay £100+ for an original and a spare
so my camera choice - and maybe others like me - will now factor battery cost into the decision to buy/upgrade
just my2p
Thanks for the link i may get these if i need them

Ever thought how much a £50 battery actually costs to make? I wouldn't be surprised if they cost the camera makers as little as £2 or £3.
When you buy an expensive camera, why would anyone risk damaging its circuits just to save a few quid, on some unknown, and possibly dangerous battery from some distant seller?
And the answer is because they all seem nearly as good as the makers own original, possibly dangerous, battery. I'm glad you read beyond the first bit.
Really?I don't like being ripped off.
Really?
Who is going to have the last laugh when your cheap battery explodes, throwing pieces of red hot camera parts in all directions. Be sure to wear safety glasses when using it.

There have been no survivors to tell the tale. And I was joking. Safety glasses wouldn't help.Are there many, if any stories documenting that?
On my Nikon D300 I took the route of getting a couple of EN-EL 4a batteries for the grip but this also means getting a BL3 end cap and an MH21 charger
i didn't know about these ''ex-pro white'' when i replaced my failing Nikon D300 EN-EL3e
i did a search on the Ex-Pro site - it came up with a straight replacement - not the 'white'.........
Ex-Pro Nikon EN-EL3E, High Capacity 2200mAh
still - they charged to 100% no prob - life..? we'll see.......
Only bought one 3rd party battery. Duracell. Wouldn't go on the charger unless forced on. Only buy OE now. Never had one fail or significantly lose its charge holding ability. Oldest is about 5 years. Must admit I have the same view of batteries as i do with battery grips. I didn't spend £10000 on cameras to skimp on things like this. Thats me, others have a different view because we all have different requirements.
