Customer Review: buyer beware
The web page for this package states that it includes a "Spare BP-511 Battery." Additionally it states: "Increase your shooting capacity with this powerful BP-511 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery."
This package does NOT include a CANON BP-511 battery; it is a cheap Chinese knock-off. How cheap? Cameta offered to accept it in return and credit me $7.95 plus up to $2 for shipping. The Chinese knock-off even states on the package that it "replaces Canon BP-511." Calling it a BP-511 in any way in the web site is blatant misrepresentation.
On top of that, the back of the knock-off says "replaces Canon BP-511 lithium ion rechargeable battery pack." It does not say anywhere on the package that this is itself a lithium ion battery, just that it replaces a lithium ion battery. What a rip-off!!
Why would anyone with a $1000 to $2000 camera use an $8 battery which may do who knows what to the electronics? And some knock-off batteries are known to cause fires, etc.
The person on the customer service desk was very polite. She argued, nicely, that the word "spare" in the web page was a signal that it wasn't Canon. Spare means extra to me, not Chinese knock-off. And we've all heard about the fire hazards of many of these Chinese batteries.
I asked to return the entire package but they would not pay return shipping which probably would cost me $15.
Being blunt, I ordered the package for two items: the Canon case, which is as advertised, and the BP-511 battery. The rest, to me, is fluff to fill the box. Without a real Canon battery, it is overpriced fluff.
Bottom line, watch what you order from this firm. Perhaps call and ask the particulars first.
Customer Review: Canon accessory pack
With the single exception of the tripod, this is a good package. The camera bag is high quality Canon; the battery and usb card reader of good quality, the tripod is junk. It is a piece of plastic and in my opinion adds to the cost of shipping this package without adding any value to it. A set of filters incorporated into the package in lieu of this cheap tripod would make this package a much better value.
