I'm quite sure they don't FIT. Different shape design

I could be wrong, but I'm almost 99% sure that a E-P8 battery (600d/550d) will NOT fit in a E-P5 camera like those on 500d/450d.

Canon like to force people to buy new battery. That hasn't change. When I downgrade from a 30d to Rebel 400d, I had to buy new set of batteries. Then Canon makes yet another changed in battery design with 450d, so I have to invest in yet another set when I upgrade from 400d to 450d.
