I decided to bite the bullet and go with real Canon NP-E3 batteries. I don't trust third-party batteries to provide the weathersealing that I rely on.

That's honestly the only reason I would go with the Canon batteries as well. From a power standpoint, my non-Canon battery is at least as good as my Canon battery, but I wouldn't trust the weather sealing. If I shoot in the rain, I make sure the Canon battery is fully charged and in use.

Dan,

"did you read the thread or just respond ? oops."

Yes, I had read the thread, but was trying to make a more general point. Seems that they missed it.

Whats the old saw "you can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink it"? Or something like it. Never mind, I'll live.

but what you posted has NO useful information for a 1 series camera at all. So really I think your the only one who knew what you where talking about.

my black diamonds got soft rubber around the ends just like the canon version weather sealing of them.

I've never gotten good performance from the np-e3's even with the Mark IIn I get only around 300 odd shots. By all accounts, that's cos I don't shoot a 1000 shots in a day, but rather shoot with the battery over a period of 3 or 4 weeks. I believe it goes flat by itself over time, hence my low rating.

sounds like we have the same results. I shoot the same way.
