From Canon
Sealing material to resist water and dust / Adds a vertical shutter release / Compatible with up to 2 511A Lithium-ion battery packs or 6 AA batteries
If you find yourself shooting lots of vertical (portrait-style) shots, this is a MUST HAVE accessory because of the shutter and AF point-selection controls. If you find yourself shooting tons of exposures, the additional battery, and the time it affords you before recharging, is going to prove invaluable. And lastly, if you use long, heavier lenses (as I do with the EF 70-200 f/2.8 L) the additional weight on the butt end of the camera actually brings more balance to the rig, making shooting more comfortable. I'm glad I purchased the battery grip.
This is a great accessory. It helps balance the camera with a large lens, your pinky has somewhere to go, you can use the e-1 handstrap, and the battery door has a place to be stored in the grip. The problem is that there is a bit of flex between the grip and the frame of the camera. This is a pretty well documented issue on some of the photography forums.
