Nothing complicated here: An actual Canon battery at a very good price. This sound ordinary, but it's not. We've had a previous experience where an Amazon merchant showed an original equipment battery at a bargain price, but shipped a replacement brand. This is not the case here. Only thing wrong is the applicability listing. We have a Canon S90, which uses this battery -- but it's not listed. Bottom line: Great deal.
A Little Pricy but Worth It...:
Everyone needs a backup battery, and after some purchases of non-brand-name batteries at a bricks-and-mortar store whose initials are both the second letter in the alphabet I am a firm believer in going with brand name Canon.

I would avoid knock-off brands and stick with genuine Canon batteries.
