Don't get caught short when taking digital images--get a spare battery. If you use your Digital Ixus frequently, it is advisable to always carry a spare battery with you. With the official Canon battery, you can keep it close at hand and sleep safe at night knowing that you won't miss the shot of your life because your battery is flat.

5.0 out of 5 starsDoes what you need it to, time and again., 28 May 2004

I am the happy owner of a Digital Ixus 500. This accessory won't add any functionality to owners of this camera, as it already comes with one of them. However, having two of them extends your camera's life away from a recharger more than adequately (by 100%, obviously enough). It also gives you greater reliability when transferring images onto a PC, and you can have one charging whilst you use the other.
I have had no problems with the unit itself. It's the same 840mAh capacity as the standard issue, which for me has usually lasted a day's social photography using the LCD always and flash as required. It charges in 2 hours max and fits nicely in the official case also available from Canon.
What else can be said? It's only a battery after all. But it's worked perfectly for me, and enhanced my experience of digital photography.
You absolutely do need a second battery for your camera if you are at all serious about photography. I bought the Canon Ixus 500 and this battery as a spare. I wouldn't be without it.
Basically its essential. This one (identical to the one supplied with the camera) is reliable, fast to charge, and lasts a couple of days (or 100 or so photos) in my experience.
Its not exciting, but it is worth the 30 quid or so.

This battery fits the Digital IXUS 400 camera and has lasted me for 256 photo's so far on 1 charge (with screen on and also shooting two 3 minute movies) Exactly the same battery as the one supplied in the IXUS box.
