To Grip Or Not To Grip (Canon BG-E6 Battery Grip)....

Thanks Crosby


That is what I was afraid of. I've been really weary of the 7D image sharpness issues. Unfortunately for my wallet, I'm starting to feel the 1DmkIV is route for me to go. I'd go mkIII but 10MP doesn't leave much room for cropping.


I just had the best shoot this weekend with my 24-70. I threw the 16-35 for a few wide shots but man I love the 24-70.

I also like the grip with the canon E1 hand strap.

What?! Did I miss this? Sean when did you get the 7D. I think I'm upgrading my my crop to a 7D soon from my 40D. How do you like it?

I was going to say something but he slipped it in so nonchalantly that I just let it slide. I first became suspicious when in a thread last week Sean referenced how he used continuous lighting for when he shot video. I was wondering what he was using to shoot that video ;-)


To stay on track...I just sold my EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and once the cash hits my account I am going to order the Canon BG-E6 Battery G and another battery.

Yeah I saw that and thought for a minute, then I figured you borrowed someones video enabled body since I was under the notion your 50D was still your top dog.


Sneaky Bastage!


I'm probably going to hit you up with opinions and questions about the 7D since we kind of shoot similar stuff.

No problem. I'll have an experienced opinion on it after a while of shooting. ;-)
