Apr 28, 2005 11:28 | #5 I think they've already figured out the fix. I think they need time to ramp up the resources to handle the onslaught. Steven

Mark_48 Goldmember  2,068 posts Joined Nov 2004 Location: Brookfield, MA More info | Wonder how this affects grips that are on resellers shelves, whether they'd be recalled or just sold and the purchaser gets to send it in for repair? Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

Belmondo Cream of the Crop  42,735 posts Likes: 15 Joined Jul 2003 Location: 92210 More info | I have the grip on my 20D, and have never observed a problem. This could be because I've used the camera very little, so I'm thinking I'll make it a point to put some miles on it in the next couple weeks to see if any problems surface. I just got a hand strap for it, and the lack of it has been one of the reasons I haven't been using it. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
