Customer Reviews

Battery Grip
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
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.
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.
