Also, the > BP-8 batter pack (4 x AA) can be used without the battery door. The BP-8 sounds like the best idea - I have one on my Rebel G. It requires that the battery door be open all the time (it fits around it). Not having a battery door is an excellent reason to buy one. And after that you'll be able to use regular AA batteries on your camera (I go a decent distance on regular Duracells). Your camera will also fit better in your hand. I don't think I've taken mine off since I fitted it, except to change the (AA) batteries. I checked, you get them on the usual auction sites for less than $30.
