Digital camera reviews of Pentax BG2 Battery Grip for Pentax K10D and K20D DSLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Good option for extended shoots.
Summary: 3 Stars

It's a good accessory for those who need to have two batteries online all the time. For those of us who aren't heavy with the shutter, just get a second batter and throw it in your bag. The grips on the K20D don't really require more gripping surface.

I've been to sporting events where this is a really handy option, when you really need the extended shooting time, but this might be 3 times a year. Normally, it's no issue to just plug in a spare for the main.

Don't know that I'll ever use the additional buttons on it either. Up to you for preference I guess. I find it useful for the additional memory storage as well as longer shoots when I need it. Otherwise, it's off the camera, in my bag. A K20D with the grip won't fit in the Pentax slingbag without fear of ripping the zipper.

Overall, good quality, no issues figuring it out, and found some worth, but you may want to consider the spare and putting the $130 into a DA lense you might be fawning over.
