BG-E2 Battery Grip 20D
I have been putting off getting the Battery Grip for my 20D because of
several reports of problems. Several people remarked about how loose the grip was and that it wouldn't work with some functions. I finally got one yesterday and it is great. It is solid as a rock and I honestly can't see how it could be loose. It does add more weight to the camera though and combined with my 28-135 lens, it feels as if the combination weighs 10 pounds. As with anything though, I can get used to it. When I first saw the extra controls on the bottom of the grip, I wondered how they could come into play, but I quickly learned that they are very handy when using the poitrait mode. I used to tilt the camera to the right and my hand was awkwardly placed under the camera. With the battery grip, I tilt to the left and my hand is on top as it is when holding the camera in the landscape position. I still haven't found it easy to locate the viewfinder with my eye this way, but that will also come with practice. Overall it is great and I bought it locally for $160, including tax, so I think I got a bargain. Don Dunlap |
