Zeiko XSi battery grip?

[cogliostro]

I just stumbled across the zeikos grip for Xsi, and at $50 for the grip it's damn cheap. I planned to get the original oem grip, because most of the 3rd party grip that available in my area are priced at around $90, which is not that cheap compared to the oem one, which is about $120. But this one is really a bargain.

So, anyone have use them? Are they quality product? I can order one of these bcause my colleagues is in the states right now so I can buy it through her.

Any feedbacks on the grip is greatly appreciated.

I can't speak for the Zeikos grip for the XSi but I do have the Opteka grip for my XSi and have had no issues with it. It's only $20 more and comes with two 1800mAH batteries that can be used together in the grip. Battery life lasts a long time! Just another option for you to consider.

I haven't used the Zeikos grip for the Xsi as well. But i do own a opteka grip just like the one isaax linked.

I planned on getting the Oem Grip from canon. But the Opteka grip is just such a good deal for the price. From all the research that i have done. Everyone is pleased with the build quality - which i can vouch for.

Another vote for the Opteka, had it a month now, batteries are great & grip feels & works like it was a Canon too.

Yes, the Opteka grip works perfectly and the two batteries are a nice addition. Camera can last really long without the need to recharge. The only thing I dislike is the wheel but it's perfectly usable
