Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon BG-E8 Battery Grip for Canon T2i Digital SLR Cameras (Retail Package)
Customer Review: I love having a Battery Grip on my T2i
Summary: 5 Stars
It would be nice if this had a few extra buttons on it but it has the main ones that I need to use available so that's just fine. I was tempted to go with an after-market brand unit but I decided seeing as I do use my camera a LOT it would be a smarter idea to go with a brand name unit.
I've had my unit attached to my camera for almost a year now and have loved it ever since. I enjoy being able to pop in "AA" batteries when I have killed my other 2 Canon lithium cells that I typically keep in the grip. I do a lot of portrait work and this helps to make it less awkward to handle the camera. Not to mention that the camera looks bigger to the client and makes them feel like it's something big and impacting to the photos I'm taking. Little do they know I am using the cheapest option that I was willing to settle for to do work that I would much rather have a 50D MkII for, lol.
All in all, the added power allows me to not have to worry about running out of power at weddings, balls, dances, games, whatever... Some events I can end up with 900 or better shots, that's a heck of a lot of shots and before I had the grip it would always end up that I would run out of power at just the wrong time! Now that's no longer an issue.
Most people don't really need a grip and probably shouldn't bother with it. I don't come across too many that take 900-1300 shots on a given day, with a T2i, lol. So unless you know that you need that constant insurance of extra power to go the distance don't bother with the expense.
