I bought this battery for my brand-new Nikon D90 because of these wonderful reviews. To my disappointment, maybe just my bad luck, this battery was not recognized by my camera even after charging enough time. I don't think my camera has a problem since I just bought it two days earlier and it works perfectly fine with the Nikon battery. I'm going to give it another shot by asking for an exchange instead of refund. For now, I can only give a one star to this battery, if the exchange works out, I will upgrade it in future. I still have faith on this product because of other people's experiences. However people should be aware that it's possible that it may not work on your camera.
Follow-up. I tried to exchange, but since it was sold by the third party, amazon only offers refund. Therefore I won't have a chance to re-evaluate it. Case close!

Like most folks, I was hesitant to buy a cheap 3rd party battery for my new Nikon D90. I bit the bullet because of the positive reviews I saw here.
I've shot thousands of pictures over the past few months with this battery and have not had any problems. It did take a couple of charge cycles to bring the battery to full capacity, but that is typical of lithium ion batteries.
Opteka claims that the battery capacity is 2000 mAh versus the 1500 mAh of the genuine Nikon. This is false or an exaggeration- the capacity seems to be about equal to the Nikon

Iget a little upset when the price of transportation is twice that of the item.

Yes! Go ahead and purchase this battery! If you are reading this review and you are not sure if an off-brand battery is worth buying, let me be the one to assure you. This battery is pretty much the same as the one that came with my D90. Charges, performs and fits like the Nikon brand EN-EL3e battery. If you are stingy about the differences, the Nikon brand battery is a darker shade of grey than it's Opteka clone. Let me remind you that this difference does not effect the performance or quality of the battery itself.
Having this battery is nice since I'm doing a lot of video work with the D90. I have an external Nikon SB-400 flash unit so i dont have to worry about the camera battery's juice getting sucked up.

Inexpencive replacement battery. Everything works fine, the camera recognizes it, shows the charge, it holds out as long as the Nikon equivelant.
i would reccommend this.
