Also indicates that it has focus bracketing. Is that a first for Canon SLR/Mirrorless, or have I missed it on previous models?
Here’s the Canon EOS RP and EG-E1 extension grip
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Those images look real, it could be legit. Maybe someone in the UK pulled the trigger too soon.
I saw that too - I'd love this feature. I have no idea if it's been offered previously by Canon, but if it has, I've certainly been missing out!
Yeah, I think so. It is called an "extension grip." All the others are called "battery grip." There is a certain amount of absurdity in the idea that one buys a mirrorless camera because it is compact and then shells out extra money to make it bigger. Now all we need is a "Canon SC-1" – a specially designed sound card that will make it louder.
Yep, Sony makes the exact same thing: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1333267-REG/sony_gp_ex1m_gp_x1em_grip_extension.html
Seems silly though for these companies not to just get the ergonomics right in the first place
God that grip is ugly AF.
also a bit retarded, you can't stand the camera up when it's attached.
So, it looks like it will probably come in at about $1,599 US then? Not the super aggressive pricing some had hoped at $1,299 - $1,399. That's about where I expected it.
Maybe it's like shoes: different people need different sizes.
Keep in mind that the european prices are not just based on currency exchange. As mentioned, they include 19% taxes and even then the US prices are usually lower for a number of reasons.
For example, on the respective Amazon pages (de, co.uk, com) the R sells for
US: 2299$
Germany: 2249€
UK: 2149 (Price of Body and Adapter set with the adpater cost subtracted)
Oh. I forgot about that. Thanks. So I guess it could come in at those lower prices then.
would be fun if they would make some kind of poor mans backup copy grip ,usb cable from camera to grip and button for little finger to press same time with shooting button to enable earmarking . camera would keep earmarked pic on buffer untill its copyed to grip too .
The Amazon links don't seem to work now - perhaps someone jumped the gun?
I wonder if the the battery door is removed to fit the grip which has it's own battery door therefore enabling a larger/longer battery to be used? Probably just wishful thinking on my part. But a good idea perhaps!

I was wondering if has just a non-replaceable battery to be charged via USB + wall adapter. Seems like the USB charging port would have been noticed by now though.Could'n it be that this grip is designed to accomodate a new high-capacity battery with different dimensions?
Maybe Canon considers focus bracketing an amateur feature since highly skilled enthusiasts and pros control that for themselves.
An idea for the future but not now.Could'n it be that this grip is designed to accomodate a new high-capacity battery with different dimensions?
