YAET: How can this battery be so cheap?

It's generic.

Shrug. I'd do it. It's probably just as good as the OEM battery. Then again, maybe not. But if it only lasts 150 charge cycles instead of 400, who cares for 5$?

Just be SURE it's the right battery for your camera.

Right, I don't mind that... especially if the OEM is $40+.... what I would be worried about is potential damage to the camera. Am I just being paranoid?

It won't damage the camera as long as it is the same voltage and the contacts are the same, battery quality doesen't come into play there.

I guess it would be bad if it exploded or leaked or something weird, but I don't think you have much to worry about.
