Vertical grip (battery grip)

Orio · Expire: 2012-12-04

while I was in the expense (and the bank paid Wink

) I got two of them, one original for the 50D and a third party Chinese copy for the 5D. Now I wonder how could I do without them all these years. It is amazingly easier to shoot vertical now. What a stupid delay it was for me not to get one immediately. I use vertical framing a lot when photographing people and this way it's much easier.

Which one did you get for the 5D? Is it the same quality or similar to the original Canon version?
I think I would maybe get one for my 5D.

Orio, I agree about the vertical grip! My first DSLR was the Canon D30 that
had one that came with, and the Pentax *istD did as well. It never leaves
the camera!

I have the verticle grips on both of my Nikon N90s bodies, and I like 'em alot that way. The camera balances alot better.

The K10D is big and heavy with the grip, but does it feel amazing...wow Cool

My MX is feeling a little too small hmmmm...might have to get a winder Laughing

I have a K10d grip by Ownuser from Taiwan on my Samsung GX10 and its big and heavy but makes it so much easier to use, if you can believe that! Great with long and heavy lenses but not on the spine Very Happy

Actually, I do not feel the need for a vertical grip on my 40D.
But the 350D turns into a "real cam" with the grip. Wink
