Okay, so I find a good deal on a used 1D on eBay, dede to get it rather than a 20D with grip. I mean, I don't need 8 megapixels. The camera only comes with one battery, so I order a spare, which just gets here before the camera.
The battery is huge! I think I could jump-start a Volkswagon with it. I'm not sure 1000 or so couldn't keep Rhode Island lit during a blackout. Most CAMERAS weigh less. Heck, most college physics books probably weigh less than the camera based upon this battery.
Is this really a CAMERA battery? How big is the camera going to be? Am I going to need a wheelbarrow to tote the 1D around when I attach my 100-400 IS? Will people stare everywhere I go? "Hey, Martha,dumba-- toting around taht boatanchor, and why does it have a camera lens attached to it?"
