has anyone with a T3/1100D purchased one of these and do they work or do they not work due to the SD card being in the same compartment as the battery (causing the camera to power off when battery cover is opened)?

I bought my daughter a T3, and noticed the Battery Grip we considered, uses an external cord to get power from it to the input on the camera. Nothing goes inside the camera itself. She decided to not get a grip, so I guess I may not have really answered your question.

I see that you have the T3i. As I have the T3/1100D not the T3i/600D will the grip you have work on a T3/1100D?

The one I have is a replacement for the Canon BG-E8. I think you'll need Canon BG-E3

I can't see where Canon sells a battery grip for the T3. It is not listed as an accessory on their web site, anyway. If an external power cable is required, that would be a strong hint that Canon did not intend for the T3 to have a battery grip.

yes I understand this and is why I am asking about a specific third party aftermarket battery grip. If anyone has input dealing with the grip in the original post please share any input on it.
