Canon 400d Battery Grip

I have been using the Canon 400d for almost a year now and I have been realy impressed with it. Next month is my birthday aswell as Fathers day, would a battery grip be a good investment.

that rather depends on if you think the advantage of extra battery life outweighs the extra weight.

if you often find your battery is running out when your out and about then yes probably a good addition, if you have never had a issue with it then probably not worth it.

you will also find it provides you with a second shutter release button and scroll wheel for adjusting certain settings .. great for portrait work so u dont have to twist your wrist around ...

Be sure to shop around online rather than going straight for a high street store...

£74.99 on www.7dayshop.com
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.p hp?cPath=777_1&products_id=102778

or £54.99 but it's not a genuine Canon model

Or something like this from eBay
