Hi folks,
So I've purchased a 7Dmkii , BG-E16 grip , and awaiting a 17-40 f4 USM lens. [The 100-400 mk ii will have to wait till I save a bit more...]

Question: Are 3rd party batteries ok to use? The Canon LP-E16N batteries are around $90 , the LP-E16 are $60 , and I've seen 3rd party batteries for $20-$25ea.

Does anyone else use these batteries for their camera or grip?

I've also noticed some have a higher mAh than the factory Canon batteries. Is this a good thing or no?

Barney.
