Canon Rebel T2i/550D Battery Grip Compatibility....

[Novux]

Is there a serious difference between the BG-E5 (Battery grip for Rebel XT through T1i) and the BG-E8? (T2i specific). I checked around online, but my results weren't fruitful.

I have no idea, but I can tell you that I bought an aftermarket grip for my T2i for a third the price and I could not be happier with it. And I especially love the extra tray that lets me use AA batteries in a pinch (had to do that twice now, despite having 8 batteries).
