I know someone got the grip from Alan Photo (in SLS) for $190 only, but I myself got it there for $220 before. So I guess it all depends on your way of bargain

Haha well whatever it is it'll never ever reach below $150 yeah... So i guess just buy it

That is good price to me.

The price should be OK.
I only use 1 battery in the grip, something may happens if the battery in the camera run low and trying to switch while writing data to the SD card.
Maybe I not using the original battery in the camera, and these battery just dun last....

You mean the third party batt doesn't last? or you mean 1 camera is just not enough lol... you mean if one battery depleted it takes time to "switch" to the next?

Yes, the third party battery doesn't last after a few charges.
The camera show 2 bars, can hear mirror flip, but no pic recorded, than batt indicator blinked and camera shut down. OFF than ON power again, indicator show 2 bars, but still can't record data. Or record 1/2 way, it hangs & than power switch to grip's battery, indicator show full bars, check battery, 2nd battery uses. I only have 1 Original batt, so unable to know the ture.
