Digital camera reviews of Pentax BG2 Battery Grip for Pentax K10D and K20D DSLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Great addition to great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Grip makes camera better balanced, more steady on tripod with 70-300 lenses. Finally I have place were keep remote control!Digital camera Review: definately good to have
Summary: 4 Stars
The well thought design allows fully functional camera operation from the vertical. Good for back-up battery storage, which can be switched to electronically, once the battery in the main body dies. Also, storage space for extra memory card or wireless remote. Although it's a little bulky, I definately made a good decision in purchasing this product.Digital camera Review: Big grip, moderate benefit!
Summary: 4 Stars
The battery grip for the K10D is helpful for some situations. It holds a back-up battery that is actually functional for the camera without being swapped out with the main battery, thus doubling your battery time. You do have to remove it, however, to change the main camera battery. The storage space inside the grip also holds a second SD card. I would have given a 5 star rating if this card was also functional, however, it is not and merely serves as storage for the card. The wireless remote control also stores in the battery grip but don't expect to find one in the box. You have to purchase the remote separately! I am not sure the grip needs to be quite so large as the size makes the camera diffficult to tote in smaller camera bags, and makes it cumbersome to hang around your neck. The second shutter release and control dials are extremely handy! Overall I think this is a very good product with only minor drawbacks! I highly reccomend it to anyone purchasing the K10D
