It’s missing its wings and engines.

Can’t wait to see all your new toys hooked up and in place on the Blazer.
Hopefully you will get TONS, TONS, and MORE TONS of valuable data.
Keep up the Great work.”

What i want to know is how good is the battery grip copies and are they a good alternative if you do not want to shell out the expense on a generic one – i would rather spend on glass.

It’s not as though I can run out and buy every new model they release. I wish there was a trade in program, like with cars. I’m starting to feel like I became a guinea pig test subject when I got the a100. I’m starting to get bitter about how wonderful all the new models are because all anyone can talk about is how they’ve fixed the problems with the a100.

Again this isn’t technically a PMA product, as it was announced along with the A200. The grip is available now at a lest price of $249.00 (less batteries). The PM news is that it is compatible with the A300 and the A350, as well as the original A200. This provides a great deal of flexibility if you trade up or add second body in the A200-A350 family. It does not fit the A700, which has it’s own specific vertical grip, and will not fit the A100 style bodies. Also optional, the VG-B30AM Vertical Grip allows comfortable handling in portrait or landscape shooting positions. The grip holds up to two NP FM500H Rechargeable Battery Packs for an extended shooting stamina of up to 1460* images (820 images in Live View mode) from a single charge. *CIPA standard […]

Like you I have been a Minolta user from before the first auto focus (I still have the body and use it). It has never let me down. I nearly went Nikon because Minolta were dragging their feet. Now at last we seem to be getting somewhere and I await their “A900”. A shame it is still not Minolta, but at least I can use equipment. Hopefully, our numbers will grow even though Sony does not have the same ring but I guess we can live with that.

A second battery, either used as a spare or inserted in the A700 Vertical grip should be more then sufficient power for most A700 shooters. […]
