Summary: What a workhorse!
Review: I bought this as one of the first accessories for my Canon Digital Rebel / 300D. The grip is a total workhorse. It holds two batteries. With 80% charge on each battery, a 4 second image review on the LCD, and using the flash about 50% of the time, I took 1200+ pictures before the bar faded a notch on my battery indicator. A MUST if you're going to own the dRebel.

Summary: Good item if you need your batteries last longer.
Review: I love this grip. As a professional photographer I often shoot for long hours and carry chargers to keep my batteries full. I got this and it has extended the time I need to break to recharge which makes my clients happy. If your a professional or need more charge then definately this is for you. It offers a shutter as well as other controls making it easier to use your digital rebel. Five stars is all I could put but would put more if I could.

Summary: Not a must, good to have, for balance, convenience, power
Review: If you just the Digital Rebel kit and don't want to spend too much money on accessories, this is not for you. A single battery has enough power for a trip or even a few days vacation.
But if you are a powerful user, will buy more lens, especiall the heavy L lens, a 550EX flash which is also bulky, I would say this is must for you.
With 10oz grip and 2 extra batteries (seach on e-b-a-y for cheap generic ones), the camera feels more comfortable and stable. Even with 550ex attached to it and a 70-200 4L lens on, I still feel it is well balanced. And 2nd group of button is really convenient for portrait. Of course, 2 batteries always have more power.
If I remove it, with 550ex flash on it, I really feel awkard to hold it.
So if you just have the kit, forget about it. If you have external flashes (550ex or 420ex at least), L series lens, don't hesitate, buy it.

Summary: Should be bundled with the camera...
Review: If you're going to buy just ONE accessory to your Digital Rebel then you're looking at it: it HAS to be this one. Additionnally to longer shooting time (batteries not included) it gives a great sense of balance and ease of vertical use. Yesterday I grabbed a friend's digital rebel without the grip and it felt like a toy in my hands. This is a MUST.

Summary: It's not a must have but it does come in very "handy".
Review: This battery grip is very comfortable, it gives stability when shooting vertical snap shots. The grip holds 2 batteries for twice the lenth of battery life. I purchased 2 after market batteries for $10.00 each @ Ebay that work just fine. Another thing..it makes the camera look sharp. If the price is acceptable for you then go for it. It's well worth it. Good luck!

Summary: Overkill but a cool add-on
Review: With the battery packs that are available for the Digital Rebel having a grip just for more power is shear over-kill. Not that it is a bad thing, it's just that most people don't have enough flash memory to even take advantage of one battery, much less two. A 512mb chip holds around 150 photos on the best JPEG setting, a single battery will last you more than 400 photos! Unlike many other digital camera's the Rebel sips power even with a lot of photo review, so don't feel you need this add-on for a day of shooting. On the other hand if you like a nice solid feel to your camera and have big hands and find most digitals a little toyish, then you'll love the extra grip and weight the battery grip provides.

Summary: A "Must Have" accessory.
Review: Yeah, yeah the extra battery is overkill but this baby's best feature is the ergos.....the easy to find & use buttons when you take vertically oriented pix. No fumbling to find stuff. The grip also makes holding the camera more comfortable.Go ahead, get it! You won't regret it.
