I don't know why some people describe their camera bodies as "gripped"... Furthermore, why wouldn't lenses be described as "hooded", or flashes described as "diffused"...
I guess I'm trying to determine if I'm the only one...

Usually its in the context of selling it, or perhaps in a context where the differences between a camera with an external grip make a difference.

No, you can't. The feeling that you can is just another Noinker delusion: one, alas, of many.

I win haha. In all seriousness I think grips are a great thing and I wouldn't have known about them if it weren't for people putting it in their sigs and my curiosity. -Chris-Website
