What a Difference One Accessory Makes
Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14-45mmI bought an accessory grip for my GF1, and I couldn't be happier. It has transformed the look and feel of the GF1. It now feels 'complete' and well-balanced.
The $100+ grip is sold by a company in Japan only, but I managed to find a used one for $65. It is made of very lightweight aluminum, and it only adds a few ounces and about 1/2 inch to the bottom of the GF1.
It was money well spent, since one of the usual comments about the camera is that there is not enough of a grip for the right hand. That was my opinion as well. In fact, on the recently introduced GF1 replacement, the GX1, Panasonic included a much beefier grip.

You will find a one or two stop improvement with the ease of holding the camera steady Warren. I did the same for my Leica with a thumb holder.

i think most cameras are improved with a good grip.
