Canon Digital Backpack Battery Accessory

Looking for a ‘must have’ accessory for your Canon Digital Rebel SLR? – Adding a Canon BG-E3 battery grip (also known as a ‘vertical grip’) is a cost effective way to make your Canon Digital Rebel or (Rebel Xti) camera even more commodious to use.

Fitting the Canon BG-E3 battery grip to your Digital Rebel XT/Xti is very straightforward and will take only a matter of minutes. You do have to remove the initial battery cover to grant the battery grip to fit into place, but once this is done, it’s plainly a matter of sliding the grip into the firstborn battery slot and tightening the knurled wheel to fix it. Slide in your Canon NB-2LH batteries (you may of course use just one if you prefer) and you are good to go!

The initial thing you will detect when you have attached the grip is the divergence it makes to the size of the camera. It makes the Canon Digital Rebel XT/Xti look so much more spectacular (a bit like a baby EOS1D you might think!). Not only does it look great, but the added size makes it more natural to handle. The Rebel is a reasonably little digital slr camera but adding the BG-E3 gives the camera a more significant feel which is particularly evident if you are using longer telephoto and zoom lenses, the more spectacular grip making it feel a whole lot better balanced and helping to reduce camera shake when focusing.

Obviously adding an extra battery will double the battery life which is great if you are using the cameras power hungry features such as automati focus and effigy stabilizing lenses. With two batteries in place you may concentrate on a day’s shooting rather than having to worry with regards to running out of power. It’s also worth noting that the Canon BGE3 battery grip comes finish with a cartridge to carry 6 AA type batteries which you may keep on hand as a spare. This is in particular handy if you are out and in regards to and have no facilities to re-charge the LI-ON batteries.

Another outstanding feature of the Canon BG-E3 battery grip is the vertical shooting buttons which are incisively the same as those already on the camera. This is a actually utile feature when you need to turn the camera a full 90 degrees to frame a picture. No longer do you have to contort your wrists to grab the shot and using the camera in portrait mode is just as straightforward as it would be in ‘landscape’ orientation.

As you would suppose with a Canon camera product, the BG-E3 battery grip is very well constructed and fits the Digital Rebel XT/Xti so well that it looks like it will have to always have been there! – Canon have thoughtfully added a discerned on/off switch to the BG-E3, so that you need never run the danger of without intention triggering the vertical grip shutter controls unless you want to. Tripod users must have no difficultnesses after fitting the BG-E3 to their Rebel. The battery grip comes finish with a threaded metal insert in the base, replicating the one on the camera body so that you may proceed to use your tripod normally.

If you are looking for a quality accessory that complements the already very fine Canon Rebel series, you won’t be disappointed with the BG-E3 battery grip. In fact, once you’ve fitted one to your XT/Xti you might find that you never want to take it off!
