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.

I was hesitant to purchase the many off-brand options available here on Amazon due to the mixed reviews. Since receiving my OEM Canon grip and having used one of the cheaper knock-offs I'm glad I spent the extra cash on this one. "You get what you pay for" applies to most things, including camera gear. If you're going to spend good money on a DSLR and quality lenses, why would you skimp on something like a battery grip? It's not a crucial component like a lens or a flash, but it's something you're going to use every time you use your camera. I'm not sure which cheap-o grip I used, and though it was close in texture to my camera's body grip, it just didn't feel quite right. The buttons were squsishy and the textured-grip wasn't quite right. The Canon grip looks and feels like it's part of the camera, like something that would come with it. Pros: All of the buttons (shutter/zoom) and the scroll wheel feel "right," like the buttons currently on my camera. The finish and grip are identical, too. Cons: The one complaint I have is that the grip smelled like B.O. for the first few days of owning it. Every time I brought the camera up to my face to take a picture I'd get a healthy whiff, making me question my ability to properly wash myself. It didn't occur to me that a pice of plastic could be the culprit, causing me to smell everything in my surroundings for a good 15 minutes before finally pinpointing the source. I slapped some Speed Stick on it and it's all good now (not really, it just went away on its own. Don't put deodorant on your electronics, kids). If you need a grip for your t2i (or t3i, which is what I have), go with legit Canon gear. Plus, it's sold by Amazon so it ships quickly.

Bought the BG-E8 for all the obvious and above stated reasons. I also bought the 2344A001 E1 Hand Strap. I have never used a camera strap around my neck as they are literally pain in the neck. While the hand strap is a bit of a pain to use in setting up your settings - the strap holds your hand in an awkward position to dial and punch buttons - once you're set it keeps your camera at hand and ready to shoot at a moments notice, just what I want. The thing that REALLY gripped me about the BG-E8 is the strap set up. Once the strap is in place it wraps around the bottom of the battery grip which makes your camera want to fall over onto the lens when you set it down. What to do? A little investigation showed that there is nothing between the strap securing pin and the outside of the body of the grip, so it was a simple matter to funnel the strap thought the side of the grip and securing pin recess - that is if you're not afraid to drill a few holes in your grip. Simply drill a row of holes along the inside of the securing pin's recess and the outside of the grip, square them off with an X-Acto knife and feed the strap though. Now your camera sits flat on the grips base and doesn't flop over when you set it down.
