to grip or not to grip?

I was wondering how many of you have vertical grip? I haven't found the necessity to get one yet. But I saw one with the vertical grip and gave me goosebumps. It was very very s*xy. can you convince me to buy one?

It looks good. Makes the 10D look like a real camera.

err... it holds two batteries, makes shooting portrait easier, errr...

Did I mention it makes the 10D look good

Oh... just go and buy one. You know you want to :P

all joking aside, nothing will balance your camera out more then a battery grip. Trust me.

you'll love it, despite the fact it makes your 10D looks good, it makes you look professional, too. It works great, especially when it comes to portrait shots, with one extra battery in the body, you can shoot so much longer without recharge tham again, and of course, that means you'll need to buy one extra battery, or 2 more on top of that if you wanna a spare set just in case (exactly what i did)

I've had more than once that someone approaches me when i was shooting, try to complement my camera:"so, how much does your 1Ds cost you?" ... only i wish i had one ... still, when i told them it's a 10D with a grip, they seem to be very impressed with it.

So, time to reach your wallet and get yourself one of these "bad boys"

one thing tho', it's plastic, so you might take a while to get used it, not exactly metal body as the rest of 10D.

ahem. there is a quantum battery pack that balances it better than the grip.... but it is 4 times the price.

And it doesn't look nearly as good or have any extra buttons on it.

Did I mention how good the camera looks and feels with the grip on it?

Thanks a lot guys for pushing me over the wall. That was an itch i definitely had to scratch. I think I will go ahead and buy it. I already have two batteries. I don't have the budget right away to buy two more batteries but will do so in the next couple of months. Also, is there a dual battery charger?

yup, i've got one for myself just for this purpose, here is the link on B&H:

Get it! I know on the 300D it is REALLY nice to use, looks great, and gives great battery life!

However, the grip on the 10D isn't quite as "professional looking" as the one on the 300D as it isn't marked as such

how could you not want this!!
just taking this is the fully loaded 2 battery 310d

What?! Your grip doesnt have the word "Professional" on it. Without it the grip looks cheap!

PS. I still havent figured out a way to get my 300D to take pictures of itself.

love the grip!!!! get the grip!!!!

take more photos

meet more women

take more photos

get the grip!!!!!

i wonder if i can get a sticker that says it

ok this is how you do it
you need several mirrors
and the remote if ya like or just set the timer

You must buy the grip
You must buy the grip
You must buy the grip

I opened a thread like this some time ago, and guess what I did?..... I bought the grip. I'm happy with it.

I've heard this many times already..........still haven't gone to the edge.
