After market batteries
Jan 26, 2021 20:36:04 #
If your comparing battery life for your 7D and your mirrorless Canon, forget it their is no comparison, mirrorless cameras are known for poor battery life. Your better off spending a few bucks more for Canon batteries. Besides, what makes you think a cheaper aftermarket battery is going to last longer? For mirrorless cameras, what you see is what you get!

If I remember correctly Panasonic tried "chipping" their batteries years ago and offered a firmware update that bricked everyone's non oem battery. They ended that very fast with when the backlash hit the fan.

I believe it is possible to trace ion a non OEM batteries were used in you camera and may effect repair of you camera with a OEM repair shop.

You might be giving camera firmware too much credit. If the camera company tried to say that I used a non-OEM battery, I would counter with "the firmware incorrectly logged your defective battery then".
That's only if firmware could track every instance of a battery removal/insertion -> log it -> maintain that much storage for a trivial metric.

"johngault007" You can counter what ever you want and spend time, aggravation and maybe money. And they will say rules are rules, ignore you or keep playing with you because saved a few bucks on your expensive camera.

Not following, but yeah, hopefully we are all having fun with photography.
For me, money is not really an issue. Just breaking through the "never", "always", and all other definitive myth statements people make. I have OEM and 3rd party (Wasabi) batteries. Both work exactly the same and until I witness the 3rd battery malfunction, or there are wide spread consumer reports and not just, "I heard about this one time", I don't panic.

You are right of course but it was by saving the thirty bucks wherever I could that I came to be able to afford the thousands in camera equipment.
In this case though its more than thirty bucks. A canon LP-E17 costs about $90 here (Canada). Four Bonacell clones are $50 and come with a charger.

Not sure what the exchange rate is but Amazon US $61.03 usd. I use the LP-E17 in my Canon. I do prefer to stick with OEM. To some my camera may be cheap but to me it was expensive so I prefer OEM.

I have 5 batteries for my Nikon D 7100. My wife gave me two RAVPOWER batteries and a charger for christmas a couplew of years ago. I can tell no difference between them and an OEM battery. YMMV. Nikon bvatteries are also somewhat expen$ive.

My Canon 7D MII and 5D MIV when shooting video will turn off after about 5 minutes with the 2 brands of batteries that are not Canon. It doesn't happen with a Canon battery.
