              Checked this page earlier this week and then it had the correct amount of shots for the 60D. Which is in the 60D's favor at 1100 per charge (320ish if you use the LCD).

              Advantages of the Canon 700D over Canon 60D
              Significantly longer battery life 550 shots vs 1 shots 550x more shots per battery charge
              This is just so wrong and a little bit insulting as a Canon 60D owner
