    Old user-new poster.

    I have been a Canon user for many years but am a new poster to the forum. Please see my post under the equipment tab re. what I think is a blunder by Canon regarding the new EOS 77D.

      Re: Old user-new poster.

      Welcome to the forum. It's a shame that your intro is a gripe; but understandable! Seems an odd decision by Canon! BHP indicate it doesn't have a grip 'yet'... Hopefully one might be forthcoming
      Cheers;

        Sorry EOS_User. I'm afraid I felt so strongly about this I had to warn other prospective buyers about this oversight. Hopefully someone will come up with an independent grip as I am struggling to hold this camera without pushing buttons by accident, especially the Wi-Fi button. You refer to BHP. Please explain. Thank you.

          No need to apologise... I feel your pain... Hopefully BHP are right in their suggestion...

                Hmm, bit more of a look and these are a bit of a compromise. Appear to only have shutter release and you need to connect to camera with the supplied cable.

                        Yes antoeknee.
                        Looks a bit basic but might help until something better turns up. Thanks for your help.

                          Just posted on your thread ,there are tons
                          of grips available on e.bay from Chinese suppliers from around £30,they work just as well as genuine canon grips ,which makes it uneconomic for them to market a own brand one at £100 plus .you have not done your homework alistair
