 Reliable July 21, 2010

I don't have much experience with battery packs, but I've found this one easy to use and very reliable. I don't have to stop to consider battery strength during wedding shoots and that is a HUGE relief.
 Decent for the Price, but... July 15, 2010

I have an Opteka grip for my XT and that item seems to be more robust than this new part. Opteka seems to be cutting costs in material. So far, it works fine, but my guess is the battery insert latch will break at some point sooner than my other one. Decent item for the price, but quality is a bit dissapointing. As always, fast shipping from Amazon.
Just Buy It!!! July 12, 2010

So i have a canon eos rebel xs and i dont have enough money to upgrade to a better camera, but this just makes me look like a professional! I ordered it the Jul 8th, 2010 and it came the exact day that its said it should. I got the 2nd day air because im going to DC very soon and i needed it for that trip. It will prbably never come off my camera cuz i love it so much!! And if when i do upgrade i want the Canon T1i which is compatible with this grip sooo i so happy
! If your considering it and think its to cheap for good quality well its is very cheap in cost but the quality is exactly like the Canon brand battery grip but for 100$ less!!!! JUST FREAKING BUY IT!!!!!
Best Purchase Ever!! July 12, 2010

As the title states in my opinion as far as accessories go getting this battery grip was the best and smartest decision I have made!!! When I first purchased my T1i the number one problem and one of the only ones I could say would be the ergonomics. Since i had very large hands my grip was always uncomfortable. So to remedy that I bought this grip. And what I got in return is amazing feel and comfort while shooting and also easier laid out button scheme. The best thing however was the amazing battery life!! With the two batteries fully charged it seems like I can go on shooting forever with no worries on the battery bar going down one notch!! The build quality on the grip is also very superb and the only thing I could complain about is possibly the shutter button at times feels "loose" but it works perfect. So to end this review basically if you need a better grip, more weight to your dslr, or tons of battery life this grip is for you!!
Excellent Grip for the T1i July 11, 2010

This is an excellent, high quality battery grip. I had a similar Opteka grip for my XT that I absolutely loved. I purchased it last year for a trip to Italy and it has served me well with no issues. That's why I didn't hesitate to pick up this grip for my new T1i. So far, I am not disappointed. The build quality is excellent and the fit is perfect. I have never used the Canon grip, so I have no basis for comparison. I cannot imagine, however, that the Canon grip is worth the additional $70.
