Canon BG-E3 DSLR Battery Grip review

After sold out the EF-s 18-55mm, I intend to buy a tripod, but finally meet someone sell BG-E3, the price is reasonable, so I put away the tripod temporarily to seize this rare opportunity.
Most of the person can not understand that why want to buy a battery grip? The price is expensive, and seems not valuable, I also hesitate for a long time before I buy it. After I use it, I found the battery grip is really very useful.Now there are many battery grips in the market as Canon BG-E3 BG-E5 BG-E2N, Nikon MB-D40 MB-D80 MB-D200, Sony VG-B30AM and So on.
Compared with BG-E3 350D, the machine performance improvement can be listed as follows:

  • Add the vertical photo function. It is quite suit for me, as I prefer to take photo vertically, previously, I have to hold up my hand to take photo, it is not only tried but also difficult to hold stable, the success rate is low, and arm is sore, if the camera lens is heavy, it Is easy to be disabled.
  • Increase the machine body hand feel. As the body design is very small, little finger has no place to put, it is often emerge un-stable situation, if with a grip, it will be more stable.
  • Enhance the power. 350d is quite power saving, according to my own using experience, it mainly can take around 400pcs photos, and the battery will show low power when it remains 20% power, but if the photo capacity is quite large and without charger, it is bad, BG-E3 can use 2pcs NB-2LH battery to supply power, the duration ability enhanced a lot, besides, if it is still not enough, then you can use 6pcs AA battery to take photo to solve the power shortage problem.
  • Enhance the brightness degree. It is due to your own psychological effect, after install the battery grip, it is brighter, but also heavy, the machine body and camera lens weight increase to 1200g, it seems like that I have to take more exercises, as the good photo not only need excellent technique but only healthy body. ===================================BG-E3======================================
