fusionrx Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Anyone know if there is a battery grip available for the old EOS 10s? So instead of having to buy multiple 2CR5 batteries, I can just use the good old AA? The grip doesn't necessarily have to be Canon manufacture, it can be 3rd party...

maureen_m Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 From <a href="http://photonotes.org/reviews/eos-10s/">PhotoNotes.org</a>:<p>"No battery pack grip was ever made for the 10/10s. You can�t use easily-obtainable and cheap AAs to power the camera - you always have to use expensive lithium 2CR5s. It�s true that AAs don�t last very long, but having that option can be a lifesaver if you�re in the Middle of Nowhere and run out of lithium photo cells. There was an add-on optional grip extension (GR-60), but it�s just a lump of rubber with a hand strap. It doesn�t give you any additional buttons (so it�s of no additional benefit for portrait photography) and it doesn�t contain batteries." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_williams Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Canon makes a Grip Extension GR60 for E0S 10.<p> Is EOS 10s just USA version of Europe EOS 10 and Japan EOS 10?<p> Don't know if grip extension also means battery grip (maybe you already do), anyways, good luck.

bobatkins Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 No it doesn't. There is no battery grip for the 10s. Rechargable 2CR5 cells used to be advertised on some UK websites. They were not cheap, neither was the charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick roberts Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I got one of the rechargeable sets when they were being cleared. Even then, hardly worth it given the very low price of the batteries. I do own the battery grip for the 50E, but find it also pretty worthless - it just adds unnecessary weight and bulk, and the battery life is poor.

yakim_peled1 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I bought the GR-70 for my Elan (100). It too was just a piece of plastic + E1 handstrap. No place to put AA batteries. However, it made handling infinitely better. It cost me only 25$. I'd highly recommend you to buy it. Happy shooting , Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
