Bg e2n grip

Is there any difference between this new grip and th older Bg e2?Thanks

The only difference is some weather sealing around the battery compartment. Other than that your BG-E2 is the same grip and is compatible with the 10D, 20D, 30D, and 40D.

It's not really true weather sealing, more like a strip of felt ..the same material can be found on the 40D's CF card 'door'.

What with the lack of the 'AF-on' button on the grip then I cant really see an advantage to the new grip.

Yea it is like a felt material but it's considered "weather sealing". Mine just came in yesterday and it feels weird. When I shoot vertical its not really comfortable in the hand. It's more square were your thumb wraps around. That's me and i got pretty big hands. I don't know if the bg-e2 is any more comfortable cause i would rather own that instead.

I own both a 30D/BG-e2 and 40D/BG-e2N.

I've had both grips on either body, they are virtual twins. I'd use either grip they are the same for all purposes.

So sad when you compare the BG-E2N to the WiFi grip. The WiFi (sorry can't remember the model number) fits the camera better, is wider and has the AF-On button. Buts its a deal really, only $700 for an AF-On button.

slight correction on this

the battery grip for the 10D doesn't work on the 20D, 30D or the 40D.

The 10D takes the BG-ED3 while 20D, 30D or the 40D can take the BG-E2(n)
