Hi there,
I am new here, and new to Digital photography as well. I have shot film for years, and know the value of good glass, good filters, etc. I am interested in purchasing a battery grip for my new Canon XSi. The Canon grips are clearly nice, but I have noted that many here have purchased third party battery grips, at 1/3 the price of the Canon, and seem quite pleased with them. I have done quite a few searches and have not found any information on the LCD Battery Grips from Meike.
These grips have a timer function for shutter control of timed shots. My question is; are these things in use by anyone here on TPF? If so, do they work well for the intended purpose? Or, should I just stick with the "standard" battery grip?
I am considering ordering from "Link Delight" Camera Equip., or possibly e-bay, whichever is cheaper at the moment.
Thanks,
Jim
