Canon BG-E3 Battery

One of the biggest disadvantages of the Digital Rebel series and other SLR series cameras from Canon is the small amount of size that is dedicated to the built-in grip. For the most part it is relatively small, therefore Canon offers the BG-E3 Battery Grip which allows a full-sized portrait grip giving you more control over the camera and a higher sense of security while holding the camera. Since the battery cover on the Digital Rebel XT is easily removable the BG-E3 Battery Grip is able to slip right into the battery slot with extreme ease.


There are two battery holder options when using the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip. The first allows two batteries to be utilized, giving the user about twice as many shots as they would normally get with one battery, and the second allows six AA batteries to be used instead of the rechargeable batteries. The surface of the grip is rubberized for an even more secure handling feel, which is crucial for users who want the secure feeling that they are not going to easily drop their camera or have it slip out of their hand.

Overall the Canon BG-E3 Battery Grip acts as a very nice accessory that ensures several battery options while providing very secure handling. It is the perfect complement to the Digital Rebel XT and XTi and a variety of other Digital SLR Cameras. The Canon BG-E3 will definitely provide the user with what is needed of it, and will definitely act as a top notch battery grip that is sure to please.
