Query: Poor internal connections?

I had pretty good luck for a month or two with this, the look and feel is no doubt similar to the authentic Canon product. Others have gone so far as to say the had "friends" who claimed it was made in the same factory and sold under an unknown name...However, I had the same issues others have had, I would start to compose a shot, and as I depressed the shutter button, nothing would happen. Power went off. Kind of frustrating. Batteries were fine, so I came to the conclusion that the internal contacts and connections must be where the "value" is.I have nobody else to blame but myself, I thought I was getting a good deal. I'll be buying the Canon grip soon, I did like the feel of the grip on my XT. If you buy this and it lasts, congratulations. Beware, it's not much of a bargain if you only get two months of use out of it.
