Grip

Go to last post
no but it sure does seem interesting:

"The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion 3600 mAh battery eliminates the need of having to charge and carry around multiple battery clusters"

I wonder how inflated those mAh numbers are.
 
Nope, never tried those other 3rd party grips.....but very happy with my cannon grip, for the extra little cash you get the shutter, focus point, ae lock and ev compensation buttons in portrait layout! Go for it, you wont be dissapointed :)

Pain is just weakness leaving the body ;o)
 
Built in...non removable.....it will fail at some point as all rechargables do after thier max charging cycles :( sounds like a false economy to me!

This is the cheap grip without the VERTICAL Shutter Release (allow you to take Portrait photo with comfort). They go around $40 on ebay. For $20 more, you can buy the Opetka with vertical shutter release

I second that! Get the Canon grip, you won't regret it. Think of it this way, you've already spent a lot of money on your camera. What's an extra $50, relative to the cost of the camera. You get what you pay for.

Wouldn't this mean you're now carrying another cord/power brick around to charge it?
 
It "sounds" promising being about the same cost of buying 2 replacement Canon battery packs and with more than 4x the power.. that is if the specs are true. It's strange that it doesn't have the extra shutter release when they make a similar grip for the Nikons with the release button. I would have thought that was a given. I googled it but couldn't find any reviews.

Let us know how it does if you get it.
