I always have at least the basic grip on. To change the battery requires
removing the grip. That's a lot more than 10 seconds, especially when I'm
in the middle of an event. The bare body is too small for me to comfortably
hang on to. The extra battery grip on the bottom doubles the time between
changes, has a quick-change door handy, and provides a sweet vertical grip
with shutter and dials. I'll have to learn to live without it.
