Having just bought a used CANON 1D MKIII, I need to source an additional battery as it only came with one cheapest I have seen UK supplied is £87 delivered is that a fair price or perhaps anyone no anywhere cheaper, don't really want to go down the eBay route, as not really sure I would be getting the original thing


Thanks
 
I got an original from kerso a bit cheaper than you quoted and one from ebay a powersmart one for £20 ish. Ive had no problems with the 3rd party one.

i did buy 2 of http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360145949870#ht_3035wt_1167 and sent both them back as the fit was rubbish and neither would communicate with the camera.

The good 3rd party one was from digital rev on ebay

hope that helps
 
Cheers thanks for the info, never thought of trying Kerso will have to investigate

I remember getting the same advice from you Ian.....better safe than sorry though and I bought a spare.
Never needed the bloody thing :(

May have to reconsider then whether or not I really need 1, always felt I needed one with my 50d, but this is definitely a very different beast :)
 
Yeah thats kind of when I would be swapping over when I was charging the other battery, how long do they take to charge, battery was supplied fully charged
 
only 1 to 2 hours from flat i think.
 
Me being me i have to have 2 spares :shrug: and yep i never need them. Still nice to have them.
 
As if by magic there are 2 in the f/s forum now!
 
LP-E4's are a bit like testicles Tony....one will provide everything you need but you feel better knowing that there's a spare in the bag :)

Bob, if you carry on making quotes like that my signature is going to be massive!

Now £34.20 but still quite a saving on the Canon ones.

Thanks again for the info, Euan.
