I had a not Canon grip on my 40d & did not like it. When I shot vertical with the flash the flash would only work when it wanted to. Went to a Canon grip & it just feels better! It's solid & dependable. jim

I haven't looked back since mounting it on the body. It would have been nice to get an extra battery like the other brands. Chas Gordon

It works and looks just fine. Quality appears to be close to Canon. Not a lot of 'technology' in a grip. I've got a 'genuine' Canon grip on my 50d that I bought 'LNIB' from a fellow POTN member. If it wasn't for the good price I would have gone w/ an aftermarket on that one as well. I have this too. it works ok. was worth the $50 canadian I paid, total. canon 1dmk2* Canon XSi * Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 EX DG * Canon 17-40mm f/4L * Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX * Canon 50mm f/1.8 *

Never seen one that did, at least that I can recall. The 1d series has it but of course the grip is integrated into the camera. So perhaps I should say that vertical shooting config has the iso dial as well.

Perfectly satisfied with the Phottix grip. Could not see any reason to dish out three and a half times the price to get a Canon logo on a grip when I purchased it. Five months (and 5000 shots later) I still hold the same view.

Not really cheaper though. Check out post #6 for a picture. 6D | 7D | XSI | EF-S 10-22 | EF 50 1.4 | EF 24-105L | 100-400L │ EF-100mm Macro| MT-24EX │580 EXII | Black Rapid RS-5 | lots of Think Tank.
