Great product but one down side
By A1N3B83EJAD6KE on 2006-05-01
I love the adapter saving me from having to buy the mega expensive CR2 batteries my EOS T2 uses. However I thought I could use rechargeable batteries with this adapter. As most NiMH and NiCAD rechargeables are 1.2V (versus alkaline being 1.5v) I am guessing the 4 rechargeables was only giving 4.8v versus the 2 CR2's giving 6 volts ... not enough to power the camera.
A nice upgrade for your SLR
By A1EXGL6L0QQ0M5 on 2004-12-28
Battery grips have become a widely used accessory for those who use their SLR regularly. They typically add a grip to make vertical shooting easier and a expanded battery department to allow for longer sessions without battery changes. This grip in particular takes inexpensive and widely available AA batteries (4), which will save money quickly over the $12 or so a pair of the batteries that these cameras take on their own. Rechargable batteries work fine in the grip. Also included is an additional shutter release to go with the new vertical grip. I'd love to have seen a tripod socket in line with the lens and perhaps a sensor for Canon's remote shutter release, which isn't built into many bodies (if it has a shutter release button, all that would be needed is a cheap IR sensor). All in all, it's an inexpensive way to add value to your camera, save money on batteries, and simply look cooler.
Useful for astrophotography!

When you take a long exposure photo whith a motorized camera the batteries drain whith the first picture (four hours exposure aprox.), and you wasted 8$ or more, whith this baby you take four cheap AA batts and take the same photo for less $, the recargeable NiMh batteries are the best choice, i take a three hours and a half exposure whith this ones. For last, Adorama ship is fast and very good package!
BP-220 -A MUST
By A1GRX80XW7GOLF on 2006-03-22
I will not consider using my camera without this battery pack;
all cameras should carry one.
A Worthwhile Addition to Your Camera
By AULFLNWJP1QXY on 2006-03-28
I always thought my Canon fit well in my hands but this battery grip made it feel like a PART of my hand. The extra 'portrait' shutter release is pretty useful and includes an ON-OFF switch in case you forget the second button is there. The grip allows you to use rechargables or cheap common alkaline AA batteries which will last something like 50% longer than the small lithium cells the camera takes (except in the freezing cold). Note that Canon recommends that you NEVER use lithium AA cells in the battery pack due to the sensitivity of the camera's electronics. All in all, this is a great accessory I can't imagine living without.
