How on earth can Canon justify the price of their branded batteries!!. I have read many postings of generic batteries being better in performance than the official Canon BP511, Sterlingtech being one good example, I have a couple of cheapies from Kerso that do the business for me.
It would not surprise me if most of the generic batteries came from the same factory in China that produces them for Canon!.
I would have thought it would be in Canon's own interests to reduce the price of their batteries and gain a decent slice of the aftermarket, or are there enough photographers out there willing to pay over £50 to generate the profits they seek, or is it is a commercial decision to maintain their high profile image by charging an artificially high price.
