So...simple put, THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO MY ARSENAL OF ACCESSORIES. i do photography at several night clubs and i take many pictures every night. this battery grip surpasses my expectations and is a perfect equivalent to the canon grip. i use it on my Canon T1i and its flawless. The best feature in my opinion is the ability to have a vertical shutter buttom which is mainly what i use for upclose portrait pictures.
5 STARS!

This is a quality product that never comes off of my T1i. The battery power goes on and on and on. It really beefs up the T1i's frame and is very practical for portrait work. Why pay for the canon name on the same product?

The grip is great quality. The finishing is excellent and it makes the camera look much more professional. It is in my opinion a very suitable to the costlier Canon grip and I recommend it wholeheartedly. The batteries seem to last forever and ease of portrait mode is fantastic.

I bought this grip to make the body of my Canon Rebel a better fit for my huge hands. I didn't really care about the additional set of controls for use when shooting in portrait orientation, but I find myself using them all the time now. I've owned the grip for close to three months, and I've done a lot of shooting, but am still on the original charge, so battery life seems really good. It definitely makes the camera body seem more substantial, and I really like having the option of going with the AAs in the event I can't recharge the Canon batteries.
Now I just need to pick up a charger that charges both batteries at once and I'll be set!

Nice battery grip for my canon xsi, but the rubber material on the grip arent align with the edges (defective on that part). So i put some crazy glue and it stay just fine. The two batteries that come with the grip is a plus. I dont have to worry about recharging the batteries as much. Everything is fucntional and worth for its price. I would give this grip a full 5 star if the quality on the handle grip is better. It is worth it if you want it for the looks, and the full comfort while youre holding it.
