Grip

[Sunny584]

hi guys, what is the best grip for a G11...thanx..i dont like the strap

[SloopJohnE]

Lensmate.com had a pretty nice one for the G9.

I don't know about G11, but I have other Lensmate accessories for my G10 and love them. They are very well made and reasonably priced.

Good hunting!

I felt that way too. Had a grip on my g9 and I miss it on my g11.

Choices I've tried: Domke strap (but it's supposed too be a little camera!)
Gordy's Strap--I quite like this. It helps me hold the camera; I don't mind the grip so much.

I wish they would make a grip for the camera, or maybe a thumb-lever like someone makes for the Leica M9 (Luminous Landscape picture?)

My g9 + grip felt better in my hand.

I replaced the neck strap on my G11 with THIS (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-WS20-Wrist-Strap-Camcorders/dp/B00009V4G9) it is not just a camcorder strap it works great with the G11

I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate a wrist strap like that one on the Amazon link, with a neck strap like the one that comes with the G11 but with a quick-release option. When the camera's not in use I prefer having it slung around my neck but when in use I'd like the option of being able to remove the neck strap and using the wrist strap only.

I just got a G11. I love the camera but I'm not really diggin' on the neck strap. It just feels awkward at times when I am predominantly shooting with the lcd.

I've been looking for hand straps and have narrowed it down to two.

The Pro snap strap http://www.ccnow.com/cgi-local/mframe.cgi?link_http://www.prostrap.com

And the Op Tech Cam strap which is available with or without the quick disconnect. http://optechusa.com/product/detail/?PRODUCT_ID=6&PRODUCT_SUB_ID=

I agree: I love my G10, but I sometimes wish I had a bigger grip for it. It's too bad the outfit that made that wonderful add-on grip for the G9 never made one for the G10 and G11.

They do make one for the S90. I emailed; none for the G11. Perhaps it would be harder to do with the grip that's already on the G11.
I chose the G11 because I like the fold out screen. And I like the longer lens (longer than the S90).

Perhaps I need an S90 + grip too!

I use the Prostrap "deluxe belt". It's comfortable and a great compliment to the camera.

Both the camera and Prostrap will fit in a Tamrac model 5292 T92 belt case along with a spare battery.

---Easy to carry either way in a very compact package.

I use this thin wrist strap for my G9, and plan on getting another for the G11, as soon as I get one. Have to wait a while until I get back from a trip first.
