Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip for Digital Rebel XT & XTi Digital SLR Camera + Spare NB-2LH Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

Kit includes: 1) Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip for Digital Rebel XT & XTi; 2) Spare NB-2LH Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. >>> Canon BG-E3 includes: Battery Magazine (BGM-E3A) to hold AA batteries; Battery Pack Contacts Cover; Instruction Booklets; Canon USA Warranty. >>> The Canon BG-E3 battery grip holds two NB-2LH batteries or six AA type batteries in a tray. If two NB-2LH batteries are inserted, power is supplied simultaneously by both battery packs. If both NB-2LH packs are fully charged then the number of frames you can capture are doubled. The BG-E3 adds a portrait grip with a vertical shutter release complete with AE/FE-Lock button, AF point selector button, exposure compensation button and Main Dial. If you use big zooms or telephoto lenses then the BG-E3 should be considered as a "must have" accessory. It gives you a much more stable way to hold the camera and also acts as a counterbalance by shifting the center of gravity. >>> With constant shooting, flash usage, image review and playback, especially when you have access to additional memory, your standard battery alone will not usually be sufficient and ultimately put constraints on how you want to shoot. A spare rechargeable battery is an essential accessory. No power, no pictures!
Customer Review: gripping story
Grip is OK, important for Canon XTi users with large hands. Battery delivered with the grip was not a genuine NB-2LH (although that label was on the package). Error was in the Amazon description. Product is "just like" the NB-2LH except in price and possibly value. Package declares "Get maxim run time on a single charge." Made in China.
