28Feb Old T2i Grip is Compatible with new Canon T3i
They said it would work, but you never know until you try. Just confirmed that the Canon T3i is compatible with the same BG-E8 Battery grip for the Canon T2i / 550D
The camera bodies are very close in design, but still a bit different. It doesn’t seem like you can swap the camera’s battery doors (when removed for installing battery grip). For those wondering about the GGS glass protectors working on the Canon T3i / 600D, it doesn’t look like a fit. The buttons are close to the same position, but everything is just slightly off. Other accessories such as Batteries, Cards, and Chargers are all the same, so the T3i / 600D should be seamless to drop into any existing Canon T2i workflow…

So would the T3i battery grips be compatible with the T2i? Because I think I saw one one Ebay that’s 4x battery for the t3i.

How much are those? The internal spare batteries are really pricey – like 50$ i think.
