Canon battery grip questions
Hi - can anyone give me some info regarding the compatibility of Canon
battery packs for various cameras? Will a BG-E3 (battery grip intended for Canon 350D) fit a Canon 300D, for instance? Specifically, I am looking for a battery grip for a Canon 300D that can hold AA batteries. The "dedicated" battery grip for the 300D, the BG-E1, can only take 2 proprietary Canon batteries... TIA Basjan

TIA Basjan No, typically if Canon introduces a new grip it's because the old one will not fit the new version. The grip for the 20D won't fit the 10D/D60/D30. Mark

No they are all different models. Incidentally ebuyer.co.uk (Quickfind code 65127) has 300D grips for £41.70 plus Vat but they don't seem to be in stock at present.

Canon battery grip questions
Only the grip for the 350D will accept AA batteries; it comes with a
separate insert to hold them, replacing the insert that holds the two regular batteries. I have both cameras and battery packs. B. Boudreau Canada
