 Awsome item December 1, 2008
I love this grip. I would recommend this grip to any one who plans on taking many pictures and don't want to wait for a battery to recharge.
Great Add-On November 21, 2008

A great add-on for your product. Doesn't add too much weight, and it feels well made.
I just wanted to clarify something for future buyers of this item: you get TWO trays. One tray holds two canon LP-E5 batteries, and the other tray holds 4 AA batteries. That wasn't made clear to me before my purchase (i thought you could use the power sources simultaneously).
 Vertically excellent; horizontally so-so November 11, 2008
Attached to the XSi body it adds some needed volume & mass. Only problem is that the "horn" which sticks out on the lower right side when used in landscape orientation prevents your pinky finger from wrapping around the grip in a comfortable manner. In portrait mode, it's great. It seems the ergo gurus at canon could have lopped of the offending "horn" to improve the ergonomics in landscape mode. I have an older A2E with a vertical grip and its supremely comfortable in either orientation. The body sans grip has no room for your pinky, unfortunately with the BG-E5 attached your pinky has to content with the aforementioned bulge which interferes with a solid grip.
Great for price and small hands too. October 10, 2008
My grip isn't as large as most folks so I thought it important to give a perspective for folks with small hands. This grip adds a bit of weight to the camera but is not too heavy. The trade for more shooting time is worth it. I had to upgrade my head to compensate for the weight. Vertical shots are much easier with the placement of the second button.
It's great that you can use one battery with it. I added a second battery also increasing weight, but again doubling my available shooting time.
Overall, a great addition. I needed it to shoot longer in the field. I'll be away from a power source for a few days.
Great Product! September 3, 2008
Great addition to the XSI! It balances the camera nicely, adds the ability to use AA batteries or Canon rechargeables.
