Battery Canon
do I NEED the battery cover for my Canon Powershot camera?
My Canon Powershot camera is not turning on. It has the fully charged battery in it, and it has the little blue SIM as well. They are both inserted correctly.
BUT I misplaced the cover for the battery compartment part.
WHY ISN’T IT TURNING ON? Is it because I don’t have the cover? Or is something else wrong with the camera?
Thanks.
One of the troubleshooting points is to check that the memory card door and battery door are closed completely if you cannot take pictures.
See if you can find a switch in the door area and see if you can fake the camera in to believing the door is in place and shut.

Digital camera is an “electric tiger”, which eat a lot of electric, if your 450D Rebel Xsi camera battery does not match or pay no attention to saving, the battery will run out when you does not take a few photos. Battery usage could be save by following approach:

The batteries must be to remove from your digital camera if you plan not to use a digital camera a long time, and full discharge it (some of charger with this feature, if not available, use low resistance electrical short the battery until all the power discharged), stored in dry, cool environment, and not to store the CANON 450D Rebel Xsi battery with metal objects.

Cheap replacement battery for camera
Is it worth it to spend $40+ for a genuine Canon battery for a sd600 camera, or will the cheap ebay ones work?
I received this camera , a Canon Powershot SD600, as a gift, and I’d like to have a back-up battery. It won’t be my main one, so I’m tempted to go with the $6 (including shipping) batteries that are on ebay, as opposed to $43 for a real Canon one on amazon. What are the differences?
No a battery is a battery. If it doesnt work your out 6 bucks anyways. I have worked in a camera store for 15 years and I have seen the name brand batterys fail all the time too. I dont think it matters at all.
