Digital camera reviews of Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip for Canon 20D, 30D, 40D & 50D Digital SLR Cameras (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Get A Grip!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second DSLR camera and my second camera to have a grip. I know it's a preferential thing, but I'm one that prefers to use a grip. The camera body feels much more balanced, especially when longer, heavier lenses are attached. It's also nice to have the controls on the grip when you're shooting in portrait orientation. Finally, the dual-battery in the grip means you've got all the juice you'll need for a long day of shooting. As a final thought, have you noticed how the 1D-series professional bodies come with the grip as part of the body? I wonder why that is? Think about it! ;-)Digital camera Review: Get It! end of story

Can't believe I waited this long to get it, I read all the reviews and was a little worried about the flex and loose fitting reviews, this is not the case with mine it fits very snug and feels like part of the camera.
I shoot with a 70-200 2.8L and the grip feels very solid with all the extra weight.. Don't second guess this one, get it now..

I use my camera for pictures when skiing, fishing and other activities. If you want to improve the hand-to-camera stability there is no better accessory. You will also increase your battery life because the grip holds 2 batteries. This is especially useful when you working the flash.
Buy this thing!
Digital camera Review: Get a grip, you need one of these.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I bought myself a battery grip for my EOS 400D (Rebel XTi), which I've since sold to help me save up for a 5Dmk2, I've had to have a grip on every camera I now own. Even my Minolta 600si 35mm film camera has one now.
I find the use of a grip to make switching between horizontal and vertical painless and simple, and above all, very comfortable. If you shoot a lot of portraits as I do, the battery grip gives you a feeling of control, unlike when holding your right arm above your head. More control means steadier hands and that translates to less camera shake and thusly... better photos.
The other benefit to this battery grip, is that when you're using a telephoto lens, they tend to get a bit front-heavy, and the added weight of the grip with two batteries in it, tends to compensate somewhat for that; that is subject to the various sizes of lenses, of course).
I really like how the two batteries in my camera allow me to keep shooting for hours on end. I recently shot a wedding which began outdoors and later ended up indoors due to rain. It was an afternoon wedding which began around 2PM and lasted until about 9PM. My batteries were about ¼-full by the time it was all over and I had realized I had shot 800+ images, 20% of them using an external fill flash mounted to the camera, then a remote transmitter to fire two remote flashes during the ceremony 70% of the time (and no flash 10%). All I can say is... AMAZING battery life with this grip.
Have never needed to use the optional (yet included) AA battery tray, but I do keep it just in case.
One good feature that I noticed, which is unlike the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip for EOS Digital Rebel XT Camera for my previous EOS 400D (Rebel XTi), when the battery grip is accidentally left on, it does NOT drain the battery on the camera. The BG-E3's batteries were dead within hours after doing this. I presume this issue was fixed and my BG-E2N and higher models no longer drain the batteries.
Trust me, get a grip, you'll be happy you did.
