From the Manufacturer
The Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip is designed specially for the EOS Digital Rebel XT camera. The BG-E3 holds up to two NB-2LH battery packs or six AA batteries to offer double-length shooting time. The vertical shutter release makes shooting with the camera in a vertical position just as comfortable as shooting horizontally. This grip provides additional controls for easier vertical shooting including shutter release, AE lock/FE lock, index/reduce button, main dial, AF-frame-select button, and the aperture/exposure compensation button.

Customer Reviews

Nice but does not help my big hands
I purchsed primarly to have a better way to hold on to the camera since I have large hands, this does not give you any more grip except when using the camera in the verticle position (then it's a big help due to the 2nd button position on the battery grip). With two batteries this adds a lot of weight to the camera, so don't buy this unless you really need to have two full battries to extend your shoot time. Well made and works great, just not much help with the grip of the camera for me.

A must have for Rebel XTi owners.
I had a BG-E1 for my original EOS 300D and bought this one when I upgraded to an XTi. I absolutely love these grips for the Canon Digital SLRs. Not only do they allow you to shoot with the body vertical without adjusting your shooting hand position, but having double the battery capacity is outstanding. You will love this especially when shooting with a lager lens.

Great!
Great product! I love it can't go wrong with it, just as good as the Canon.

I use it with my XTI
