Digital camera batteries
The battery on my Sony DSC-T7 has degraded to the point where it can't really hold a charge for more than a few dozen pictures. It was a demo unit, so it's not much of a surprise that the battery wasn't in the best shape, but the lack of charge time makes it a bit useless.
I'm looking for a replacement battery (Sony NP-FE1), but the actual Sony InfoLithium cell costs at least $45-$60. A Targus-branded battery costs less than half of what the Sony battery costs, and compatiable batteries start at about $10.00 shipped on eBay. I'd obviously like to buy the much cheaper off-brand batteries, but I'm worried about their quality. Do you guys think that the Targus or generic batteries would work as well as a Sony-brand one? Jam it back in, in the dark.  - won't you give me a smile...? -

So, one of the local camera stores sells Promaster-branded batteries for $25.00, which is quite a bit cheaper than the Sony one, and isn't built out of sellotape and prayers like the cheapest ones on eBay are. Would there be any drawbacks to using one?
The Canonet GIII is a sweet little camera, BTW. <3 There's nowhere I can't reach. - won't you give me a smile...? -
