First off, I should say I've been shooting an *istD with a battery grip. Prior to that, a Pentax 6x7 and before that an LX with a winder or motor drive. I don't like itty-bitty cameras. I don't like cameras that feel cheap. I love the feel of the 10D. The texture of the coverings is nice and grippy. The protrusion on the right that you wrap your hand around is substantial. I could live with this camera even without the grip. I know I'm going to love it with the grip. I recall that bill expressed some misgivings in regard to build quality. Like me, he was afraid that it wouldn't match the quality of the D at this selling price. The good news, no the great news is that it feels at least as substantial and well built as the D. Perhaps better. A very fine camera . By today's standards, a tremendous bargain. Woo Hoo! Paul
