  • Good, but with a clunk.
First off let me say, I love this grip, though it is not perfect. (Review based on experience with this product used on Canon T3i) The added ergonomics, stability, and functions are nothing compared to the sheer longevity you get when doubling up your batteries. The stock Canon LP-E8 battery leaves something to be desired when it comes to battery life but when paired the heavens open up and miracles happen. Well, maybe not miracles, but 8 hours with the camera on and sleep mode disabled is something of a godsend. Just a quick feature overview: This grip is built fairly solid, the texture on the rubberized parts matches that of the T3i body, and it doesn't feel like a cheap chunk of plastic. (Which it probably is) The battery tray (both AA and LP-E8) look cheesy, like shiny brittle plastic. <- That really has nothing to do with anything, with the tray in the grip it won't be subjected to even the mildest abuse. The exposure buttons feel a bit "poppier" than the buttons on the camera itself, not as solid so to speak. The shutter button itself is a direct 1 to 1 with the button on the camera itself, which is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Believe you me, the feel of the shutter button is very important from my experience, having one button have one "feel" and the other a different "feel" is a bad thing, it can throw your whole shot off. Canon did it right and made it identical in all ways to the button on the body which is simply amazing. Instead of Pros and Cons, lets make this a bit more personal as I am by no means a professional reviewist! Things I like! - Double the battery life - Vertical AV, AE Lock, Focus Zone, Scroll Wheel, and Shutter Button - That little bit extra weight and size - The "Battery Door" compartment so you don't lose your stock body door! Things I Dislike! - Something goes clunk from time to time, I have no idea what it is (I assume it has something to do with how the grip locks into the camera body) - When shooting horizontal my pinky finger finds itself a little pressed to find a place on the grip. To sum it up, if you desire extended battery life, this is a must. All the other features boil down to bells and whistles in my opinion. Consider your needs as a photographer before purchasing. What do you need? If you're a casual shooter, do you want the extra weight? Do you need the vertical buttons? Will your large hands make using this grip uncomfortable? Will it fit in your current camera bag when attached to your camera? (Which is something I never considered until I had to do it) This product is very sturdy, reliable, and makes a long day of shooting a lot less stressful. If this is something you want then buy with confidence! If you are unsure whether you need it or not, stew on it, it's a great product, but it also serves a particular market. Just don't buy it to make your rig look cool. ... show more

  • Works Great
If camera manufacturers would make SLR/DSLR cameras just a little taller and more comfortable I probably wouldn't use a battery grip. But the simple fact that a grip does just that...allows you to grip the camera much more reliably makes them worth using in my opinion. This includes both horizontal and vertical orientations. And, with the added button controls for shooting vertically, it's also pretty convenient. Using two rechargeable batteries, I've been able to shoot well over 800 pictures before the battery indicator moved one notch. And, the brilliant ability to load six, standard, double `A' batteries if needed has saved me once already. In fact, the charge provided by the double `A' battery solution proved to last a very long time as well. I have never tried using a third party grip and have been more than happy with this genuine, Canon brand, of grips. The mating to the camera is an extremely strong connection that has never loosened on me yet is very simple and quick to remove if needed. Pros: Seamless integration with the camera, extremely long lasting battery life, provides outstanding gripping ability on the camera, adds extended button controls for shooting vertically, quick and easy changing of the batteries. Cons: Slightly heavy with double `A' batteries, adds a little more overall height than desired to the camera. ... show more

  • Awesome addition to a great SLR!
I purchased the BG-E8 batter grip for my Canon T2i right before a recent trip to Hawaii, and I could not be happier with the performance, durability, and functionality of the battery grip. I've always found the T2i to be a very light and small camera, and wished that I could get a better grip on the camera. With this battery grip, my hands fit amazingly comfortably on the camera. The additional controls on the grip came in really handy when I used the camera in portrait mode. More importantly, with 2 LP-E8 batteries in the grip, I never, ever ran out of power--even on the all day excursions to the volcanoes which started at 8 AM, and ended at 11 PM. The fit and finish on the grip is perfect, and matches the T2i, perfectly. If you have a Canon T2i, do yourself a favor and buy this grip. ... show more

  • Great for vertical shots & heavy lenses but overpriced
Be prepared for a lot more weight and bulk when the grip is attached using either 2 LP-E6 or 6 AA batteries. Definitely helps grip when using larger lenses or shooting with the camera in the vertical position. The buttons and dial on the grip are perfectly placed. Battery capacity is doubled with two LP-E6 batteries installed in the grip but realistically without the grip you can change a battery in a split second. Quality wise I was disappointed. The plastic used in both battery brackets appears very cheap and the battery polarity markings for the 6 AA batteries are almost impossible to see. The release levers for the battery brackets appear like they will break off easily. There are lots of mechanical contact electrical connections when using the grip so don't be surprised if electrical contact problems occur down the road. I will definitely try to keep my hands off the electrical contacts on this grip, especially the ones that go into the camera body. If electrical connection problems occur removing the grip will quickly isolate the problem and let you know it's time to carefully clean the contacts. You will not be discrete with the grip attached so if you need to be low key I would leave it off. ... show more
