Yep, got mine yesterday - definitely fits on the bottom!
I've been wanting one for ages... This is a good piece of kit, and doesn't add *too* much weight to the camera.

Ref batteries. The website was showing them as available for £9.97 at my local to work store (Bedford) yesterday. Went in this morning. They had not stocked them for a long while and said the website was clearly incorrect. According to their central database, there are no more in the company.

I use batteries from 7dayshop, they've worked fine for over 2 years now. Ref batteries. The website was showing them as available for £9.97 at my local to work store (Bedford) yesterday.

Anyone else not liking their grip? I've only had it on a couple of days but I'm not sure about it. It's easier to use in Portrait but it just doesn't feel as well designed as the camera ...
Will give it time, I'm sure it will grow on me ...

Ordered about 2.00pm yesterday, arrived 2.00pm today! Of course I was at work and had to go to the carrier to get it!! Fast and free postage, I spotted the battery at the same time.
Only problem is I am still waiting for Pentax to return the camera. Four weeks now!

Still have one left at Jessops in Dumfries, had two but I've snaffled the other one! Bit of a trek to pick it up from Glasgow but was going down to Carlisle anyway.

Just had a look and they are now selling K20D/K10D batteries for £9.97.
The grip has also gone down to £44.97
I know the grip won't fit the GX-10, but will this battery work in the Samsung? I'm still having the K200D vs GX-10 debate in my head and can't make my mind up. Being able to get a cheap spare L-ion battery might help me make up my mind one way or the other!

Yes it will. But if you're after a cheaper alternative, the 7dayshop one is cheaper still and works a treat.Pothers wrote:

Personally, I much prefer the Li-Ion battery to AAs.

I've already got a grip from Jessumps but out of curiosity just tried local stores again and they are showing stock at about 8 stores. Strange thing is it say's pick up 19th and 20th May 09 so I wonder if that's new stock coming in or being fed from central warehouse.

Think you'll find it's their standard 'Collect in Store' terms.
