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.

Got this battery grip for my T2i. I was debating on buying a new body like the 60d or 7d that would fit my hand more comfortably for long shoots. (Plus all the nicer features) But after a long consideration, I decided to save up for a full frame while upgrading the current camera with accessories and new lenses to help in the mean time. The grip is very nice. It feels solidly built. It comes with instructions on how to take your existing battery door off and has a nice place to store it in the grip. The battery grip has two battery cartridges. One holds two canon lithium ion batteries while the other acts as a spare that you can place 6 AA batteries in. This original Canon grip has nice feeling buttons and dials. It feels just like the ones already on the camera. The grip size is perfect for me. I wish my T2i regular grip would feel like this. There's a nice depth for your fingers to wrap around. It adds a bit of weight and bulk to your camera, but it also helps balance your camera with larger lenses which otherwise would be head heavy. Definitely go try it out if possible. By the way, the rubber had a funky factory smell on mine. (It'll eventually go away, but just letting yall know)

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.

After reading the reviews of some third-party battery grips and some of the difficulties others had with them, I decided to go with the official Canon grip. I'm glad I did! It's comfortable, adds some extra heft to my camera, and makes taking portrait orientation shots much easier. It's a perfect fit on the camera and is very sturdy. What really sold me on this was the AA battery cartridge included. Granted, it's unlikely I'll ever need that as two of the rechargeable Canon batteries in the grip will last quite a while, but it's a nice option to have just in case. While AA batteries won't provide full power to the camera, (the instructions state it won't shoot as fast in continuous shooting mode, for example) it's still good to have a backup option.
