Is there any similar performance upgrade to be had in the Canon world? I suspect that I would have heard about this if it were the case, but I've never even seen anyone ask the question.

cogliostro Member 239 posts Joined Dec 2009 More info | Mar 25, 2010 04:55 | #3 In nikon world though, the grip for their d700 and d300 give 2 fps more. Maybe it's more of a marketing thingy? So that they can sell more battery grip for the increased rate. It is not applied in canon though. 5d2 and glasses

The extra juice reduces the cycle time of the flash allowing you to shoot quicker, I think with the Nikon's its the same sort of idea.

With canon however, you get the sae frame rate with or without the grip. The EOS-1 series of film cameras came without a "battery grip" and had low FPS levels. Withe the addition of the appropriate "Power Booster" grip, the cameras would achieve higher frame rates up to 10 fps (depending on the camera model.) John

This feature seems to have disappeared with the advent of digital. Except, evidently, with some of the Nikon cameras. ...Leo
