Gears for comfort

Made a couple of purchases today!

Firstly related to the previous post, I have found my match. The winner is the Think Tank StreetWalker Pro!

Here are some pics:

All my gear stuffed in!

And the other purchases:

Neck Strap to replace the default one:

550D Battery Grip (BG-E8)

So why the grip?

• It enhances grip as the 550D is rather small for a normal guy's hands.
• It allows convenient portrait shoot as there is a 2nd shutter release button
• It adds weight to the relatively light 550D body.
• Heavy lens (in the future) makes the body imbalanced.
• With my 580EX II, it is already top heavy.
• Lastly, increase battery lifetime (strangely enough, the least of the priorities, despite the name, battery grip).
