 truly worth it September 25, 2007
I was cautious when i first considered to buying this product but after receiving it i love it. the grip fits perfectly i don't know what other people are talking about when they say it's loose or doesn' fit right mine is perfect. it's a must have for any one who uses long lenses or loves to shoot portraits. the only down side to this accessory is the added weight it gives the camera but i think its worth it.
Great piece of equipment August 15, 2007

This fits my 30D perfectly. Very nice feel to it. I like how you can use AA batteries with it also.
Excellent July 23, 2007
The battery grip is all that I thought it would be and more. It fit perfectly, makes portraits much easier on my wrist. With 2 batteries you can shoot for a very long time between charges.

I shoot with the Canon 20D and this accessory is an ABSOLUTE MUST if you shoot with any of the "L" lenses. I have the Canon 100mm-300mm USM that I used to use on my Canon EOS Elan and have had it for 15 years. It works with the 20D just fine. I recently started shooting with the 100mm-400mm f/4.0-5.6 L and this grip is an ABSOLUTE MUST if you shoot with that lens. It counter-balances the lens just wonderfully. And having the extra battery power is something I'm going to have to get used to. I'm used to shooting and having the battery indicate that it's at least half gone. Not anymore. (hehe) And having the battery pack for the six AA batteries as a back-up is going to be nice, but I'm going to make sure I have enough batteries to keep this grip happy.
If you want to get good replacement batteries, go with Sterling Tek's version of the Canon BP-511/A batteries. They are much cheaper in price if you get them through the Sterling Tek website and they work even better than the Canon batteries. I use two Sterling Tek batteries all the time in this grip now.
A great product, exceeded my expectations... July 6, 2007

I ordered this with my 30D, because I wanted the extra shutter controls and battery life. I was disapointed from what I was reading, as others described it as "not made out of the same material" as the 20D/30D with its "cheap plastic feel". Well I am happy to report, it looks identical to the material on the 30D, and it is textured the same - though it is not magnisium alloy.
It is a perfect match... Regardless of what others say, the grip is rubberized, and the fit is very nice. It gives a real "professional" look to your camera, and counterweights heavy lenses well. Ergonomically, it does feel a little blocky when held in portrait position, but it is not that bad, and I have medium sized hands. Due to the size of the batteries, there is not much that Canon could have done about this. The balance is good but you still cannot sit your 30D down on its bottom without it tipping over with a 28-135mm lens attached.
The controls are made out of the same materials as the 30D (rubberized shutter speed wheel). It also adds to the height of the camera allowing my pinky a home to call its' own. Add to this the double battery capacity, and this is an accessory that I plan to never remove.
Don't make the mistake of buying the Targus or other knock-off battery grips, I have held those in the store and they look and feel very cheap compared to this product. This product is worth every penny.
