Some SX 40 Questions

With stock battery, I am easily able to shoot 350 photos, few videos and enough time to review the shot. It's upon you how much time you are taking to shoot 350 photos.

Better to some third party battery which is chargeable with stock charger and they also give you decent backup. I have 2 third party battery with same 920 mah and they are good.

Just get review of battery whether they are good.There are some people who are using more powerful battery with no issue.
