    I'm about to order a Casio Ex-fc100 camera and wanted another battery for it. Would there be any noticeable difference in Generic vs. Regular batteries to get?

    I find that in most cases generic batteries dont last quite as long as the regular brand, like 80% however since they cost so much less its still a better value. This is for my Nikon where the regular batteries cost much more though.

    I wouldnt hesitate with the off brand as long as its reputable, dont get some unknown china made pos.
