The users of the Panasonic Lumix L 10 will be especially happy about the new grip Pa-L 10pro, because this is still the only grip for this type of camera (April 2008) available on the market. The integrated Li-Ion battery provides a capacity of 2200mAh and offers the user more than 1000 pictures without recharging. The mains plug adaptor is designed for worldwide use (110 - 240 V) and a car-adaptor (12 V) is also included in this set. ANSMANN created a vertical-shutter for this grip, even though Panasonic do not offer separate contacts for this release function. In the grip there is an integrated cable that can be connected directly into the cable-release socket at the right side of the camera body. It is safely stored inside a compartment when not in use.
The new battery grip C-400pro for Canon EOS 350D and 400D will find a lot of fans, because this new grip will have a vertical shutter release, the function wheel and three function-keys. The "classic" battery-grip C-400 with 3600mAh, established one year ago, will be still available. The mains plug adaptor is again designed for worldwide use (110 - 240 V) and a car-adaptor (12 V) is also included in this set. The capacity of 2200mAh will be good for more than 1000 shots.
ANSMANN offers 2 years guarantee, available end of April 2008.
