Product Description

The PG-100 Deluxe Battery Grip replacement for the BG-E3 holds two NB-2LH Lithium Ion battery packs, which are compatible with numerous film and digital SLR cameras, such as the Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D) and the Digital Rebel XTi (EOS 400D). In addition, this grip includes a AA battery adapter which allows the photographer to utilize 6 AA batteries for extended shooting or for occasions when extra NB-2LH packs are not available. Another added benefit of using a battery grip with your SLR camera is considerably improved stability. Normally, the weight of the camera's lens and/or flash unit creates an imbalance that can cause camera shake or uncomfortable shooting. A battery grip helps distribute the weight of of the camera and provides extra surface to grasp onto, helping keep your hand steady and your pictures looking as crisp as possible. Sometimes, taking time out to change your camera batteries is simply out of the question. Weddings, sports, or other important events often require the full attention of the photographer and a lot of time, and that's precisely when having twice the battery life can keep you shooting for hours on end!

This review is from: Digital Concepts PG-100 Deluxe Power Vertical Grip with Two Spare NB-2LH Lithium Ion battery for Canon Digital Rebel XT, XTi, EOS 350D and 400D (Replacement for Canon BG-E3) (Electronics)

This is not a review of the Digital Concepts PG-100 Deluxe Power Vertical Grip. This product was not the product that I order. Which for me was a good thing. The unit that I received was an Opteka Battery Pack Grip (or at least one that look exactly like it.) I feel that it is well built. I love the firm rubbery feel. The only thing I don't like is the silver body of my camera. Other than that it fits like a glove on my XTi. It has shutter and exposure compensation buttons which are a real convience factor. It never leaves my camera. Just believe me when I say that this unit is worth the money.

The only thing that I would like to have now is unit to charge two batteries at a time. But thats just wishful thinking.
