Canon 50D Batteries

[33L]

i am expecting to get this camera next month and was wondering what are the best batteries to use.

I will have the battery grip BG-E2N now whats the difference between the batteries BP-511 and BP-511A.

I understand these are the same as the 40D etc.. where is the best place to get them and i am looking for ones that are quite high capacity.

A lot of people are very happy with the third party batteries from 7dayshop, myself included. I've had a couple since October 2006 and use them in my 30D and 40D bodies. They are still going strong after 2 years and I will use them in my 50D too (currently in transit from Hong Kong).

You can buy a pair for £9.49 + P&P....

what i thought tbh - shame i will have the grip and the batteries bought for me by my loving wife before i buy the body for my self!:bang:

i can see me day after day inserting then removing the batteries from the grip over and over again wishing i had a body to screw it into
