Anyone ever use these? http://cgi.ebay.com …6.c0.m14#ebayphotohosting
Just wondering if it's worth the considerable cost savings. I've bought a few other Ebay items from China before with good results.

Nov 02, 2008 19:35 | #3 If it's the real Canon version of the battery pack it's worth it. I have one for my 580EX and my 580EXII (same battery pack works for either one), and I love it. I shoot weddings and have been able to fire off 500 images before I need to change the batteries in the battery pack. the site

I'll also search for "battery pack ebay". Thanks!

Tim is right, there is another thread about it (that pursuaded me to get it). One of the posters advised that they had good luck with the yong nuo made canon accessories from hong kong.

Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous." My Zen
