Works fine. Uses AA batteries.2009-12-05
The main thing I liked about this grip is that it uses AA batteries. I haven't done a real test but my Duracell DX1500 NiMH 1.2V rechargeable batteries seem to work fine. But like I said, I haven't used it out on the field yet so they may be a total failure. I like how cheap and available AA batteries are but if you aren't shooting film enough to constitute the $30 price tag (what I got it off Amazon for), then it may be a better choice to stick w/ the CR2 lithiums.

I wanted to give this a 3.5 star rating and round up to a 4 but decided to keep it at 3 because it doesn't have the exposure buttons/wheel on it which is kind of annoying. I mean, that's the whole point of a grip is to be able to shoot portrait more comfortably. So you have to set the exposure where you want it and then just be happy that you have a button there. God forbid you accidentally leave it on and bump it on something...oh no, wasted frame!
works great2008-05-18
Adds a little more weight but gives you twice the battery time & the ability to use AA batteries in a pinch. Also feels better when using camera in portrait position. Take note, you do have to make sure you get your left hand out of the way when taking pictures in portrait or else it gets in the way of the flash.
Works Great2007-09-13
What does one say about a battery pack? It works great. Makes it much simpler to be able to switch batteries and keep on shooting photographs. Canon has been a good product for me and their accessories always are an asset.
Item as advertised2007-07-19
Works great. Much cheaper in long run then using the "special" camera batteries. Adorama slow to ship this item though, so plan ahead. Note that grip has a lockout switch for the extra shutter release, great added feature.
Staple accessory2007-05-14
Actually purchased on a whim, and looking for an alternative to the expensive disposable batteries that the camera requires. I bought Energizer NH15BP-4 ACCU 2500mAh Rechargeable AA Batteries (Four-pack), and I haven't looked back since. The biggest benifit for me was that it actually relieved me of the knowledge that my lengthy set-up times and experimenting was costing me a great deal of money. Rechargeables simply allow me to focus on the subject, not the blinking battery light.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
