Nov 03, 2008 19:24 | #18 Did ya'll take a look at their pricing on other batteries? They're all outrageously high. They've got the 1D(s) MkIII battery for $250. I don't think that place is a very good judge of what the street price will be. Everyone relax... John

Don't be surprised if the chip in the battery is required for the camera to "accept" the battery and operate at all. Just another way for Canon to bring in some extra cash, as the sole supplier of batteries for the 5DmkII, in these hard economic times.

Get the XSi if you do. Bzzztt...everything adds up. Not all of us are flush pros with silly money to burn. $200 could get you a couple of nice filters, or other actually useful accessories.

You're every greedy capitalist's dream. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-
