Has anyone seen any good prices for a grip for the 400d in the UK?

I know that theres a copy by Hankel(?) but im read that is pretty bad with zero controls.

Im wanting to buy one but not at £80!

The opteka one (third party) that everyone was raving about this time last year seems to have slightly less favourable press now it's been used! I had a Canon one for a year, and it was great - the best thing you can buy for a 350D. I couldn't use my camera without i :D

I bought a third party one from ebay that was described in a way that it looked and sounded like an opteka but it wasn't and it only had half the buttons.

After a couple of times using it the grip shutter button started to fail intermittently, annoyling when I was just about to get that great shot!

After that I stick with Canon, they might cost more but for a reason, they are reliable and fully covered by warranty.

After shopping around in the UK I got hold of a brand new one for £75
