Is an NB-2LH just a higher power version of the NB-2L (and so will they
fit in an EOS400)?


From what I hear, yes. But please keep in mind that aftermarket
replacement
batteries, if you're considering them, don't come anywhere close to their
claimed ratings. I've got two real Canon batts and one from... darn,
forget
the name, but everybody buys from them... that's rated 30% higher than
the
Canon units, but, at best, gets about 2/3rd the life. It also seems to
have
trouble charging sometimes.


I second the note that you won't get the actual much higher rating for
the aftermarket batteries - I've got several that supposedly are rated
at about twice the Canon's mAh rating, but only last about as long
(perhaps *just* a /little/ longer). HOWEVER, that said, they were
about 1/3 the price of the actual Canon batteries, so they really were
a bargain, despite not living up fully to their overstated ratings.

Never had a problem charging mine, though, so I can't verify that part.


Thanks all.
I have a couple of genuine Canon batts for a Powershot S45, and just
wondered if they would work in an EOS400D (Digital Rebel in the US I think).
It looks like they will.
