getting 550D and need battery grip for it couse camera little small to be comfortable (comparing to my Pentax K20D and i held Nikon D90. both are larger grip on camera and nicer to hold. who had grips and what brands? i found canon brand and Zeikos in B&H and looks like 2 good choices, found stuff on ebay and they look ok but im skeptical about quality
I have a Zeikos brand on my 50D. It does fine for me. No issues at all. Quality feels nice. Comes with the battery tray. I have no complaints with it. This was actually my 2nd Zeikos grip. I had another on my XSi. It was fine too.
I have a grip on my Canon 30D. Its great, more "run" time, and has a shutter release button for vertical shots, no twisting you wrist.
