Makes any camera fill more comfortable to hold, it also balances the camera quite well. Not have having to worry about power failure is a big plus.

Used this during my 2-week trip to Vegas - I must say it makes taking portrait photographs a lot more comfortable.... so much so that I find myself taking more pictures in the portrait position than the landscape position! Battery life is unbelievable too! Out of 1,700 plus shots, I only had to recharge the 2 batteries in the grip once in the entire trip. The only downside is the grip can get hard on the shoulder or neck from carrying the camera...

Used the BG-E5 in Las Vegas, NV for my 2-week vacation... I must say I find myself taking pictures in the portrait position a lot more often and a lot more comfortably... no more cocking your elbow out and twisting your hand! In fact, in even helps out steady my shots by allowing me to use my elbow against my body like a tripod. Out of 1,700 plus shots, I only had to recharge the 2 batteries in the grip once. The only downside is it can get hard on your shoulder (or neck, depending on how you carry your camera)

Wow. Seems like I can shoot forever. I Have a couple of these so I always always have a fresh one ready to go. The portrait buttons are great and east to use. Works as a great handle and very strong, not flimsy at all.

The battery grip is as I expected[...] Will be using Adorama again!

This battery grip balances out the camera just right. I went to a race and ran through an 8G Class 6 memory card over 4 days, and still haven't had to recharge batteries. Excellent product.

Recomended 100%

Pretty self explanatory on it's usage

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

More expensive than the OEM versions but definitely worth the expenditure if you are planning to attach a quick connect plate because you are doing most of your shooting from a tripod. The time saved exchanging batteries is invaluable and the grip offers definite advantages in handling when shooting without tripod, especially for vertical shots. Everything as it should be right out of the box - no superglueing of rubber components here. I might get different make RCs, lenses, batteries, etc. but with the camera and the grip I never monkey around; nothing beats the original fit!

Found grip very easy to install and remove. Battery compartment easily accessible and works nicely with either one battery or two. Adds additional comfort to holding the camera. Great when working with larger lenses.

I use this product two times a week and shoot about 1000 pics,and doin't have to charge to about 1600 pics. The grip is nice,And it looks more pro. The balance with short lens is perfect,This is a great investment if you plan on shooting a lot of pics.

The grip adds versatility with the added shutter release. In addition with the second battery, gives more shooting time.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

I was very hesitant to purchase the BG-E5 for my XSI, even with the many recommendations on the hand grip. One person said it "transforms" the camera, which it definately does in a great way!

The grip makes the XSI more comfortable to hold as it adds mild weight and length to the camera. No more awkward vertical shots as well!

I highly recommend it to anyone with an XS/XSI. Don't hesitate. Just buy one! You won't regret the investment.

Balances the camera weight w/ heavy lenses, looks impressive, extends battery life x2, vertical release, great for traveling & also for portraits (vertical control). Awesome accessory! Lives permanently on my camera, wouldn't go w/out it.

Great the batterys last forever would buy this again worth the money

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

Really like the way it adds additional balance to the Rebel T1i, especially with longer lenses. Also enjoy the security of being able to use AAA bateries in a pinch.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

I had some doubts about this grip because I thought it might make my camera look odd. But, it looks more professional, simply because it's much bigger now. But the real reason I bought it was for a better grip on my camera. The Rebel is small for good reasons, but I found it to be too small. Having the battery grip allows me to hold the camera more solidly and steadily. The great feature that stands out is having a shutter button when shooting vertically. Now my hand doesn't have to awkwardly reach over to fire the shutter button on the camera.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

The solid construction and the material used to produce this product is very good and it should last allot longer that the generic products. I compared this battery grip to the generic brands. I have no interest in replacing the battery grip in 5 years. The solid construction is a very noticeable with the Cannon battery grip. I would assure you that if accidently dropped a scratch is all you may have. The generic brands would certainly break. You don't save a dime if you have to replace the battery grip. This is an expense that you cannot pass up.

was an impulse purches, good price and was what i really needed to get things done. would tell anyone to get this grip from your site

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

This product is great. Personally, I think it's better than the grip on the XSi, just because its a much rounder and larger grip, so it just fits easier in the hand. Battery life is outstanding. I don't know, you buy it. You'll like it.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

When taking photographs especially portraits I have a better grip (more area to hold on to)when moving around. It does add on to the overall weight of the camera which gets heavy after a while but it is still worth it.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

I wanted more surface area to grip while holding the camera, and a second battery. I looked on ebay, but Adorama had the best price for Canon, not a third party brand. [...]

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

I shot over a 1000 raw + L jpegs before the battery meter showed any decrease in charge. I recommend getting this grip + the 2 generic batteries. The camera comes with 1, so you have a spare. It also gives the camera a nice feel.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

I already had Canon battery grips for my XT and XTi bodies, so when I bought an XSi body I bought this Canon battery grip to go with it. This one, like the other 2 work perfectly and have never given me any problems...with 2 of the Canon lithium batteries inside this thing seems to work forever before it needs recharging; it also gives you a lot better grip and control over your camera.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

When first told about the battery grip, my impression was that it would make the camera bulky and weighty. Not the case...grip is light but solid, easy to connect and very dependable. It adds a new dimension to taking that perfect picture. Highly recommended!

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

Fit and functionality are excellent! It's the ONLY way to shoot portrait! Buy this with 2 higher-capacity lithium-ion batteries and you are set for virtually unlimited shooting. On the off chance that you DO run down both batteries, you also get a second battery holder that can be pre-loaded with regular alkaline AA batteries, available everywhere. You can switch out the battery holders in under 30 seconds.

Comments about Canon Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip for EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera:

To be honest, without this grip I'm not sure I'd like my Canon Rebel XSi half as much I as do. It adds weight, size (a plus for guys with even regular sized hands) and professionalism. And, on top of all of that, it makes portrait photos a breeze to take. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a Canon Rebel XSi or compatible product.
