Digital camera reviews of Canon BG-E2N Battery Grip for Canon 20D, 30D, 40D & 50D Digital SLR Cameras (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Good Grip
Summary: 4 Stars
This Grip goes well with the 40D. I have bigger hands, and this grip helps the camera be more stable. It is of course a little heavier, but, it gives me a work out, so, it's not a big deal :).Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this for my 40D for Christmas, and I fell in love with it right away. Shooting in portrait mode became so much more comfortable, I couldn't tell anymore whether I was shooting in portrait or landscape because it both felt the same. My only issue was that it took me a few minutes to figure out the shutter button as it is not the same as the shutter on the camera, But all you need is to add a little more pressure.Digital camera Review: Good so far
Summary: 5 Stars
After receiving this grip, I've used it quite a bit, only removing it once when I HAD to have the lightest and most portable rig possible. It's an adjustment to get used to re-orienting my hand to take advantage of the grip. The camera is definitely heavier with the grip, but I haven't found that to be a problem. I love the security of having the extra battery.Digital camera Review: Got big hands? Then you need this
Summary: 5 Stars
The problem is that with the Canon SLRs is that they don't fit ergonomically. I have big hands, and I end up holding my Canon 40D with two fingers and my thumb most days when I go shooting which ends up irritating my wrist and makes it feel sore the next day. And if I've got a heavy lens, then forget about it. It puts too much torque on the wrist and after shooting 200+ photos in a day with a heavy lens, my wrist feels horrible.
The battery grip, from an ergonomics standpoint, is fantastic. It allows me to hold the camera with my entire hand versus with just a few fingers. Of course, it holds 2 batteries and allows you to shoot longer plus allows you to insert a battery magazine of 6 AA batteries.
It's worth getting. I can't speak to the fact that it's weather sealed or anything like that - but from an ergonomics standpoint it's worth getting.
Digital camera Review: Got this to hold vertical shots. Good for that.
Summary: 4 Stars
Heavy. More to grip. Good with my 300mm lens. If you want one, you've got to pay to play. Don't get the Hong Kong junk. You will regret it.
