I hesitated for days to make my decision about the battery grip for my Canon T3i....I was worried that by paying less then half the price of the Canon name brand I would not recieve a quality product. I was wrong. This battery grip is superb; the packaging was excellent. The grip itself looks and feels solid - it's not a cheesy plasticky looking flimsy grip. It matched my camera exactly in color and appearance and coating. Speaking of the coating on the grip - it is not just a glued strip of rubber, it is part of the equipment and cannot peel off. It worked from the moment I installed it. I love the way it looks, feels and operates, and the shutter position for taking portrait oriented pictures is wonderful. Go for it, you won't be sorry.

***UPDATED JUNE 19, 2012***I'm really pleased with this product. I bought it to use with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Sensor DIGIC 4 Image Processor Full-HD Movie Mode Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch Clear View Vari-Angle LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens and just got the Canon EOS REBEL T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 3-inch Touchscreen and Full HD Movie Mode (Body Only). I've used it with both camera bodies, and the Battery Grip works fine on both cameras.Another thing I like is that the Battery Grip works great with both AA batteries as well as with camera-specific batteriesI purchased it because I wanted additional power, as well as additional ways to power my Canon T3i. This product does both. It accepts 2 of the types of batteries that are designed for the Canon (I'm using the one that came with my camera along with Photive Original LP-E8 Ultra High Capacity Li-ion Battery For Canon T2i and T3i (Canon LP-E8 Replacement), as well as standard AA batteries (I'm using lithiumEnergizer L91BP-8 Lithium AA Photo Battery (8-Pack)).One of the things I think is really cool about this product is that there is a little slot to keep the Canon battery hatch, which you have to remove to use this grip (or any grip). Perhaps that hatch holder is standard on the Canon OEM grip, and this manufacturer is simply copying it, but the fact they did include shows their attention to detail. Another benefit of a grip is that it adds a degree of protection to part of the camera.

I cant begin to recall the number of times this device has saved me when on prolonged video and photography shoots. I use a canon rebel t4i and this grip fits it like a glove. the added AA adapter may be your least used feature, however in a pinch AAs are far easier to come by than camera batteries. I use this device with a pair of OEM batteries that i found on Amazon, bringing my total batteries to four. the grips button features are excellent when framing portrait shots and it is comfortable and adds stabalizing weight to the camera. it also fits in my camera bag no problem. definitely one of my most used devices by far!
