I'm thinking of getting a battery grip for my camera. What do people think of theirs
and would they buy one again etc.
Thanks.
But I do think that it is best to try and handle a camera that has a grip attached to see how you like the feel. Of course this is not an easy thing to do for most of us. You should also consider the space your camera will take up in whatever bag you now have with a grip attached to it.
Having two or three batteries alone and easy access to the camera's battery compartment makes a lot more sense to some people rather than having a grip attached, an additional $70-$120 invested in the system and more than two batteries.
Now that I have had mine for a few weeks, I could live with or without one really. The thing would not have fit well in my Pentax sling bag so I did move most everything for my K10 into my Lowepro 200 SS which is beginning to be comfortable and satisfying.
