Surely for an extra 30 or 40 quid you'd be better off with an official one?

Can you use the official one with only one battery?
I think my grip is actually more useful in making the camera easier to use than the extra battery power it provides.....

You could get it posted to your local jessops, might take up to a couple of weeks.

Ive got a cheapo battery grip on my 400D i got off ebay. Half the price of the canon one and does all the same stuff. It just doesnt say Canon on it, think it was just under £50
Agree with aPk on the easier to use thing, ok shooting portrait isnt exactly hard but its much more natural with the grip compared to without. Oh and with my 17-55mm F2.8 IS lens on it feels perfectly weighted.
