Battery Grips are they the same as sports cars for 40 yr old men or what??

I'm 17, better take both mine off then.
 
Well I actually took my grip off the other day. I've been meaning to for ages, but it was a nightmare, what with the handstrap attached.

Its sort of a 'back to basics' ritual for me at the moment.
 
Dear Deidre
I'm 40+ have a sports car (TVR Cerbera) but no battery grip for my Canon 40D. Am I missing out on one of lifes pleasures? :D


I have a pair of 1500maH batteries, plus the Canon 1350maH one. I've only a few times had to swap to a second battery.

Your photographic projects are obviously completely different from those that the average grip user does.
There's no sense in comparing apples and pears.
A full-day, full-scale wedding can require over 1,000 exposures. Can't afford to swap batteries mid-way during the ceremonies. Weddings don't wait for the photographer to catch up!
 
I used a battery grip religiously with my 350D. With the 20D, I haven't yet decided whether to buy a grip. I've ordered a handstrap with adapter (to attach to a gripless camera) and I may just leave it at that. Otherwise I'll get a grip and use the handstrap with it. If I get a grip, I'll have to get a new bag though :p

edit: Oh, and I'm 17, not 40.
