They'll charge the heck out of you for it of course, but at least you'll be able to get it off. "There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept" -Ansel Adams

It would be best to get it off now and replace the grip with one that is not broken. Skip Douglas

Hi thanks for your replies, Forgot about the disk battery and yes a saw may be the only way to get it off I fear too. Still love the camera may be I'll sell it and get a better one sounds good to me anyway. A 40D sounds like a plan.
