This works great and it fits perfectly under my camera. If you get this, you'll love it.
good features, but pretty bulky2001-04-19
One thing noted about the Canon Rebel 2000 is that it is very small for an SLR. Some people like this, but others find that it makes the grip uncomfortable. This is the main reason I bought this grip, to "extend" the vertical grip so my whole hand could fit around it. There is another option for the R2K, the battery pack, which is similar, except it has space for extra batteries instead of a mini tripod. I believe the battery pack has a vertical shutter release button, but this grip does not.

The tripod is very convenient, because it is always on hand to keep the camera steady. It is a little a awkward to extend, but it moves in many directions to accommodate your situation. There is an easy to operate lock that holds the pod in any position.

The grip fits very securely to the camera. There is a large disk that you spin from either side, and it fits into the tripod socket. What's great about the way this works, is that it is like some of the new tripods. If you tighten it, it pulls against the socket, rather than pushing into the camera. This way you can tighted it and be sure you won't break into the camera.

My only gripe is that it is rather bulky. It weighs considerably compared to just the camera. But that was probably what you were looking for, because the R2K is very lightweight and plasticy feeling. This piece is very solid. It comes with a strap that connects from the slot on the top right (where you probably have the neck strap connected) to a slot on the right side of the grip. This way you can securely hold the camera in one hand w/o the neck strap. However, it is tedious to remove the strap and re-attach the neck strap if you need to remove the grip. If you want, you can use the grip without the strap. This lets you simply unscrew the disk to quickly remove the whole thing.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
