I am waiting too....its already available online.
 

wouldnt online cost more? just feel it would be good to have, but not an urgent need, considering that the 7D2 supposedly has better battery life.
 

I found the battery grip on the B&H website. They have stock and price is only US$249.

Amazon has it in stock for US$246.99.

Since Canon does not warranty their Battery Grips, it really doesn't matter from which country it is purchased.
 

Sorry ah...the price is with grip n battery

Thanks for the clarification.

It is a good time to buy the grip as prices have fallen about US$80 recently.

Again, Canon does not provide a warranty on grips (or any other accessory) so if you buy from Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan or the US it makes no difference... just shop for best price.

Even if it costs more, if it is the only source and there is a need then what to do? The grip is used not only for the longer battery life.
 

The grip is already selling in 2 shops I called today, I bought mine today $303 (cash).
 

Bought it online already...due to in need to use it next saturday...

If you are able to view the raw in dpp, you should be able to export to jpg. I think it's "convert and save"
 

hi got it thanks skystrike. ;p
 

Just got my 7dmk2 with powershot n2 yesterday 2635...with loads of extras...image quality is awesome..Especially with high isos..Like at iso 6400 the quality is as good as my 60d iso 1000'..only thing I'm not happy about is that selection of image quality for sd n cf card..if u assign raw for sd n jpg for cf ..u can't basically select shooting raw only.cause the 2 options record raw n jpeg into each cf n sd card.or raw n jpeg into both cards....other than that the performance is awesome
 

Hi all,

Now that the Canon showcase @ Vivo is gone... where can i go to get a hands-on session with the 7D2 before i take the plunge?

Cheers!

The reply back when I asked CSC, is go to Harvey Norman or those mega stores to try out. Thou I doubt you can get to try high end models. I'm not sure if 7D2 is considered as high end models thou (I think it is). If it's not available, then ur next best bet is to rent it out.

To actually decide to plunge onto a mid-high end equipment, I'll prefer to rent it for 1-2 days and shoot some real things than to shoot at the small displays or random object over the sales counter to confirm if it's really what I want.
