I bought this battery grip for my Cannon EOS 1300D, and having been impressed with this battery grip. Let me start with the feel of the grip, it is the same coating as the camera and that applies to both camera's. Installation is simple and takes just minutes.
Although the access to card is blocked, but it is just where the card slot is. Nothing to do with grip design so I got the 64G card for convenience. The upsized body feels good in hand, thanks for texture on grip and decent weight. This product does all it says it well.
