• Excellent- Ergonomic, Extends battery and function, Sealed
  I wasn't sure if I would use or need this but so very glad to have purchased it with new K20D. Not only does it provide a secure, convenient way to store an additional memory card and remote but automatically extends the batterly life. The additional controls and functions also make for a comfortable fit as does the entire grip...in fact, I STRONGLY prefer the grip as it just seems easier to hold and control.
  For those who may be wondering - yes, the grip IS sealed just like the K20D so no need to... more info

• Allows me to grab the camera and go
  Using it with a K20D
  Things I like:
  - Improves grip while shooting landscape and portrait
  - Holds another battery, the wireless remote and another memory card so I don't have to make room or dig around in my pockets for all that stuff
  - Looks cool!
  Things I don't:
  - Have to take it off to change the in-camera battery
  - Have to take out the in-grip battery to get to the extra memory card and remote
  It worked exactly as described, is well built and Amazon two-day... more info

• Must have for Portrait Photography
  If you do lots of portraits you need the BG2. Yes you get the added bonus of extra battery capacity and storage for the remote control F and an extra SD card too! The ON/Off/Preview switch only works when the main camera switch is on. The shutter release and other controls fit comfortably, the extra weight and size is also a plus for either larger hands or larger lenses. I'm not sure if it's worth the list price, but definitely worth the price here on Amazon.

• Solid Upgrade for K10D or K20D
  This batter grip is a great upgrade for the K10D or K20D at a great price.
  Pros:
  * Priced right
  * Additional set of shutter release and control dials allows quick and easy portrait oriented shots
  * Though I don't use the wireless remote, a nice touch to be able to store in the grip.
  * Easily installed and removed.
  * The additional weight is lower if compared to other body/battery grip combos such as Nikon.
  Cons:
  * I would have preferred some more rubber... more info
