I was checking on the price of the BG-ED3, but I couldn't find it on B&H. I tried several searches and I tried going through the logical links:
BHPhoto - Cameras/Photo Gear - Body & Lens Accessories - Battery Holders & Grips - no luck at all. :cry:

I had searched for:
Canon BG-ED3 - No luck.,
Canon BG - Other grips, not the one I was looking for.
Canon ED3 - Nope.
BG-ED3
ED3
Battery Grip
Vertical Grip
Vertical
Portrait Grip

Am I going crazy or is the grip not on B&H at all?

Alternatively has anyone got one for sale, some of you must be getting rid of some old gear to buy the 20D.

Discontinued, I found very few places if any online with it instock.

PCmall had it, I've had luck with them.

I couldn't find it either a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for one. I think it's been discontinued along with the camera. Adorama has them on backorder.

I eventually ended up getting a used one from another internet forum.

KEH has a couple. You'll have to do a search. I tried to post the direct link but it doesn't work.

Yup. I was in the same boat. That B&H stopped carrying it caught me by surprise, too. What did they do with their stock?

There's quite a healthy supply of BG-ED3 grips on Ebay, many in mint condition. I ended up buying one there.

Thanks for the info, my BG-ED3 has left KEH and is on its way to me now.

The 10D and BG-ED3 have been discontinued?
