This battery grip transforms an already noteworthy camera (the Canon 450D -- or Freedom fighter XSi as it is called in the US) into a artistic one. First of all, the grip is excellently designed, and people with average to ample hands like me can get a much excel deal with on the camera which, although nicely shaped, was a bit to cheap for my edge. Now, with the grip, this is transformed into a unaffected fit (it now feels correspond to to the Nikon D70, which I kind-heartedness to be more enjoyable to hold good than the 450D). The grip is designed to avalanche into your camera from below, replacing the battery break down (you'll have to rub out the battery traverse for this), and is secured in unsuitable with a make a balls-up of c contort. If there is dwelling for rise, then it would be here: I'd have liked a rubber environmental seal to heartier conserve the camera's now forevermore unsettled battery homes. The grip almost doubles the tonnage of the camera, making it much think twice balanced with many of the larger lenses (e.g. the EF 100 Macro lens). Even well-advised b wealthier, when shooting in study orientaton, the grip provides its own shutter, hole, AF clutch and AF prefer buttons as well as another selector dial. To preclude adventitious use of these buttons, the grip is also equipped with an ON/OFF birch rod (this scourge will not control the battery power). This is in supplement to the in general, alone molded grip now provided for this set-up. The bottom also houses a replicated tripod socket, and a mount for the handstrap. The latter is very utilitarian, as I have found myself shooting more in description acclimatization, and have now set up the camera to use this as the dishonour introduction. This is a momentous particular and a must have for the XSi. I got the XSi to team up with my 40d as a back-up and also for a unpretentious, condensed dSLR for my fiance to use when plateful me on photo shoots. The grip isnt essential for everyone, but insomuch as that nothing but about every lens I use regularly is larger or the same bigness as the XSi, the grip definately makes me be sorry for more reasonable.
