Hey guys... Just got a few toys for my XTi... I thought I'd share them with ya'll...

Dual Battery Packs - 6xAAA Batteries or 2xBattery Packs:


I went with the "generic" version of this... I heard great reviews compared with the $160 Canon version... From what i've read, both battery grips are manufactured from the same company... Opteka sells them at $70 while Canon sell them for $160... And Hattrik, the battery grip does make a big difference on overall feel and handling... It's a little heavier, but feels "meaty"... It also gives the camera some balance when using a heavier zoom lens...

More pics to follow...
