Hi all,

Which batteries are generally better/longer lasting?

 

Also for the Sony battery solution, would the following battery work:

Canon LP-E6 comes in only one shape and size, with small variances in power capacity with third party clones.

Sony L batteries usually come in 2-3 power capacities, easily distinguishable by the size of the battery.  So obviously if you buy a larger capacity Sony or a clone battery it will be able to power the camera longer.

 

So your main concern is weight, do you want to mount large and heavier Sony batteries or keep your camera setup lightweight?

 

Yes that Masione clone of a Sony battery should work.

Forgot to mention, that single Masione battery should have the power capacity equal to at least two LP-E6 type batteries.  LP-E6 batteries are around 1600mAh, the Masione battery is 6600mAh from what I can see in the product photo.  I have a Sony NP-F570 clone that's roughly the same size as an LP-E6 battery and it's capacity is 2600mAh.
