Steve, Missed you at GFM this year. 1... Anti shake makes my pictures lots better. More pixels is a difference as well. 2... Haven't got a grip and I don't miss it. Camera is plenty big without it. 3... Have 2 different 3rd party batteries. Work fine! 4... 18-55mm zoom is fine for walking around. Quality is ok. 5... Buy one, you'll like it! 6... Without a new flash, I use the DS for flash pictures. Regards, Bob S.
