Product DescriptionThe dedicated L-shaped Battery Grip BG-E3 accommodates two NB-2LH battery packs - just the thing for long outdoor shoots while supporting six AA-size batteries.
Battery Grip (Rating: 5 out of 5) Very easy to install. I used a similar grip on my Canon A2 for years and found this was a "must have" when I got the Rebel digital.
Works as it should (Rating: 5 out of 5) The battery grip arrived promptly and has been working fine. It immediately gives the camera a more professional look, even if its
only a battery grip. My photography teacher recommended me buying the
canon BG E3 since he had tried a third party version that didnt work so
well.
If you take a lot of pix in one session, you'll need this. (Rating: 5 out of 5) If you are planing on taking a lot of shots, this is one accessory that you want to add to your camera.
It comes with two inserts, one holds 6 of AA batteries, and the other will hold two of the in-camera batteries.
The grip has good ergonomics and well constructed.
A geat buy! (Rating: 5 out of 5) The BG-E3 BATTERY GRIP is a great addition to my Canon XTI. The grip adds more space to hold the camera(for people with big hands) and adds some weight to the camera so it feels like your holding something. Plus I got it a low price and on time.
Yeah, you should just get it. (Rating: 5 out of 5) When I was considering my first DSLR purchase, I was guided by price to determine what I would get. I wasn't really aware of the size difference between the xxxD cameras and many others. I ordered my XTI, and have been loving it. Then I picked up a 40D. For me, size does matter. I'm just short of 6'2", and have long, "piano player" fingers. I still can't afford a pro-size camera, but this grip has made a significant difference in comfort and holding ability. The ability to use two batteries is a plus. Yeah, just get it.
