5 out of 5 stars New & Improved   October 17, 2007

This is the upgrade to the BG-E2. The only real difference is the textured grip and the weather sealing on the battery door. The new BG-E2N is very good looking, comfortable to hold, and very functional. Once you get one, you'll never go back...


5 out of 5 stars Got big hands? Then you need this   January 6, 2008

The problem is that with the Canon SLRs is that they don't fit ergonomically. I have big hands, and I end up holding my Canon 40D with two fingers and my thumb most days when I go shooting which ends up irritating my wrist and makes it feel sore the next day. And if I've got a heavy lens, then forget about it. It puts too much torque on the wrist and after shooting 200+ photos in a day with a heavy lens, my wrist feels horrible.

The battery grip, from an ergonomics standpoint, is fantastic. It allows me to hold the camera with my entire hand versus with just a few fingers. Of course, it holds 2 batteries and allows you to shoot longer plus allows you to insert a battery magazine of 6 AA batteries.

It's worth getting. I can't speak to the fact that it's weather sealed or anything like that - but from an ergonomics standpoint it's worth getting.

Fits perfectly on my 40D. Looks pretty nice, too. The only thing that I wish they put on it is the AF-On button, but I guess they wanted to give people more of a reason to buy the Wi-Fi connector.

5 out of 5 stars Wouldn't shoot without it.   January 27, 2008

I'll never again shoot without a verti grip. Even for landscape oriented shots, I have more camera to hold on to and that means a steadier shot and more comfort. In vertical shots, I can't imagine going back. The controls are perfectly placed and it makes shooting just that much more fun. This grip does feel just slightly plasticky and hollow, but it is solid and attaches solidly to the camera. If you have clients, you also get the added bonus of having a more professional and impressive looking camera to wow them with. Unfortunately, you can't use rechargeable batts in the supplied AA battery cartridge, voltage is too low, but at least you can keep some alkalines in there for emergencies, which you probably wont be having if you keep two camera batteries in the grip giving you over 2000 shots on a charge. I actually like the added weight of the grip which helps balance out longer lenses and again, tends to give me a bit more stability.
