Title: Completes XTi
Review: XTi's are light and somewhat small. I didn't realize how awkward XTi's are ergonomically, but this battery pack grip improves the ergonomics and the feel of my XTi. I have the bettery pack and grip on all of the time now. For this price, opteka includes two batteries and an insert for using AA batteries. So, the battery power I have is seemingly endless. On my recent trip to Russia, I didn't have easy access to recharge the batteries. However, armed with the battery that came with the camera, battery pack grip (2 batteries), and a battery pack grip insert (for rechargeable AA batteries), I shot on average 400-500 shots for many, many days (so long I can't even remember).My XTi feels so much better with this battery pack grip attached, and I know I have enough fire power to shoot for days without recharge, if I have to. At about half of the cost of the Canon brand battery pack grip, I am even happier with this purchase.
