I saw that the other day..I had to blink, thinking the price was out of focus!

 

 

You could lease from $4,068/mo!!!!!! That's a steal!

 

 

Where did that come from?

 

dunno, EuRTSX has it on his sig

 

I'm surprised you noticed that haha.

 

I notice a lot...

 

by the way, guess what's coming in the mail tomorrow.

 

There will be not tomorrow, we will skip into Thursday. All of tomorrows activities will be join in progress next Wednesday. Thank You and sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Fml.

 

It's coming tomorrow.

 

Just got the BG-E7 grip for the 7D today. Going to try using the L plate for the 30D with grip do see if it works at all. I just really need to figure out how to make this more comfortable to hold. The E1 handstrap will only help for landscape shooting. Any ideas how to make it more comfortable for portrait shots?

 

Never could figure that out, I had to loosening the strap to allow more movement to even try.

 

of the grip please.

Front and back

 

do you mean you put the grip on and its uncomfortable to hold the camera in portrait? gee, don't really know how you could improve that..

 

Miz - what specifically do you want to see? There are plenty of pics on the net. Look here:

There are images on pages 4 & 5, maybe more. If there is something specific you are looking for let me know and I'll try and post.

srika - it's just that it is heavy and bulky, so I want something to add stability and support. I have the handstrap and heard it is a great help when using the grip, but it only works in landscape. The ergonomics of the grip in portrait are fine, but it's still awkward because of the bulk/weight and my not-so-large hands.

 

oh ok. hmm...

 

Miz - more pics from POTN:

Damn that thing looks like you can beat someone with it. I sure don't miss them.

 

I really hope I find a way to make it easier to use. I would feel pretty stupid if I didn't use it after going through the same thing with the 30D and BG-E2.

 

I gotta agree with some of the folks at POTN when they say that the grip is ugly as fawk.

 

yes, that's very important.

 

Are you being sarcastic. I can't tell

 

i wanted pics of YOUR 7D+grip :wink:



i just didnt bother searching.

 

still not that good looking of a grip.

the ones for the D300/s and D700 looks alot nicer.

 

"I was in line at the camera store, new 7D in-hand, ready to pay. I had to pickup the grip at checkout. I got to the front of the line, and saw what the grip looked like. GOOD GOD!!!!!!!! I put the 7D on the counter and RAN out the store!!!!!!!!!!!!! f*ck that sh*t"

 

HAHA

 

I love the way the 7D looks with the grip

 

 

This is why my friend with his 40d gripped hates my d300.

I really have to say it feels akward but i still love having a grip vs nogrip on the 40/ 50d

 

yeah D300 does have a nice feel w/ grip. it's almost like, they made it with human hands in mind.

 

 

I mean uhh.. congrats.

seriously CONGRATS!!!

glad to see what was once just a notion become a reality.

 

I'm so stoked. I just took a few SOTC pictures and it's fantastic!

I also bought a 8gb Lexar CF card with the gift card from BHPHOTO

 

Why can't they make the grips like how they are with the EOS3/1v

 

That being said, I read the reviews on the 7D grip. It's actually pretty stable. With the xxD cameras there is some wobble and over tightening might strip the gears.

On the 7D, I've read that it feels more solid, more like 1 piece.

Any comments moe?

 

Because of the batteries that Canon uses for the digital bodies. What Nikon did with the grip for the D300/D700 is the way to go.

 

Well I'm not asking for it to be the same, but similar.

I do like how the d300/700 can use the same battery as the D3

 

I wish my 50D body would sell!!
