Anyone know if the BG-E7 will be Mg Alloy like the 5DII grip for the most part, or plastic composite like the prior BG-E2/E2N grip.

Just curious I haven't yet seen any indications either way.

I think that it SHOULD be like the BG-E6 (5D Mark II's grip) due to both the price (U$D 219.95 @ Adorama) and its xD name designation.

it looks better built. more grip surface, and it cups the 7d, instead of just mating with it flush. bigger picture here.

still would be nice to see canon revert back to the 1V style grip with the PB-E2...integrated with the body instead of just hanging off the end. although it is an improvement especially over the 40d and 50d look...still not overly impressed.
