Awesome
I have used this grip for almost a year and I can find nothing to complain about except the rubber grip is coming loose in one place due to wear, but it can be fixed easily with a little glue. This grip is a great addition to my Rebel Xsi.
great battery grip
This battery grip works very well with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D). I have had no problems so far. It is comfortable in my hand and very grippy and adds more space for my fingers to hold onto when I take regular horizontal shots. It can be used with just one battery if you don't have a second one. It makes taking portrait shots easier and more comfortable so you aren't twisting your arms around causing your arms to be unstable. The buttons function as they should, and the shutter release button on the grip almost feels exactly the same as the one on my Canon and can be pressed halfway down for the autofocus. It makes my camera look a lot more professional and it makes things so much easier. Anybody thinking about buying one of the more expensive ones like the Canon BG-E5 should try this out first. Like it says in the description these were made with the same mold as the canon version.
Love it, Changed my life.
This battery grip, tho not the actual Canon brand model, has changed my life as a photographer. The ability to carry two battery packs in the camera at once and not having to worry about running out of power in the middle of a shoot is an amazing feeling. Also, the freedom it provides in doing portrait shots (i.e. Senior photos, models, etc.) makes being a photographer just that much more enjoyable. Not to mention the fact that having the extended battery grip makes your camera look a whole lot beefier and in turn you look more professional and like you know what you're doing. It changed my life!
