People enjoy talking about their stuff, other folks' stuff, and stuff they'd like to get. A battery grip is a significant bit of gear; I only start worrying when they list "2 off camera shoe cords" and "Manfrotto 200PL-14 quick release plate" in their sig.
I use a Zeikos grip on my Canon XSi and it is a real plus. Much longer shooting between recharges, slightly faster burst speed, and some controls (same as those near shutter release) plus the release itself.B03b1 wrote:

Were there battery grips for SLR cameras?
Sorry for all the questions, I really don't know much about battery grips. Sorry to the OP for taking over the thread.
Grips are available for many DSLR cameras but not all. You have to search a bit. I have a grip on my old Canon Rebel film SLR.B03b1 wrote:

It's ok. We are all learning here.
I do believe all DSLRs can take a battery grip. I have never used an 35mm SLR camera, so I am not sure.
