Digital camera reviews of Pentax BG2 Battery Grip for Pentax K10D and K20D DSLR Cameras (Retail Packaging)
Digital camera Review: A Must Have for the K20D
Summary: 5 Stars
The Battery Grip is a "must have" if for no other reason that it balances out the K20D body to provide a full and balanced surface to hold the camera. As an added bonus, it can hold an extra battery, and provide storage for a extra SD card and Pentax wireless remote. The extra battery extends the power capacity of the K20D and can be adjusted in the camera to either be the primary or secondary source of power. The power switch, shutter button and wheel all work seamlessly when used in the vertical orientation. At aprox. $150-$160 it is lower priced than similar grips for Nikon and Canon and therefore an affordable accesorry which saves me money for good quality glass.
The only improvement I can think of that Pentax can make is to add the flexibility to use AA batteries in addition to the L-I50 recharbale battery. Nikon accomplishes this via a supplied adaptor insert which can accomodate 4 AA cells.
Not withstanding the above, I give it an A+.
