Also indicates that it has focus bracketing. Is that a first for Canon SLR/Mirrorless, or have I missed it on previous models?

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!Also indicates that it has focus bracketing. Is that a first for Canon SLR/Mirrorless, or have I missed it on previous models?
You are probably right.
Shouldn't take long for a 3rd party version of that thing to come out. Was hoping it would fit 2 batteries.
Is the battery door on the bottom of the RP? Because that thing doesn't look like it would let you change the battery.
The icon printed on the top looks like an SD card or battery.
Yep, Sony makes the exact same thing: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1333267-REG/sony_gp_ex1m_gp_x1em_grip_extension.htmlTo me and I hope I am wrong...I think this is just a grip with no added electrical features....no dual batteries nada...it's just a grip extension for people with big hands

Seems silly though for these companies not to just get the ergonomics right in the first place

That is with a 20% VAT.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.
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.So, it looks like it will probably come in at about $1,599 US then?

there's the sd card symbol on the bottom but there are no electrical contacts anywhere...
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.
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.Also indicates that it has focus bracketing. Is that a first for Canon SLR/Mirrorless, or have I missed it on previous models?
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?
