Is it just me, or is the battery grip for the R5 the worst battery grip Canon has every produced
Initially, i didn't like the feel, but i was used to shooting with a grip, since until the EOS 5DsR/5Ds came out, I always had a one series body accompanied by a 5 series with a grip. Even going back to the the film camera EOS A2E, i had a grip.
I'm finally getting used to the controls on the R5 (though I still don't get why prime real estate is wasted on the stupid rate button!!!), and have got the camera more configured to make use of the new features.
Does anyone know why there aren't dedicated INFO or PLAY buttons on the grip I can't remember if they were on the previous grips, but with this grip the PLAY button is at least still within each, but either my hands are much smaller than whoever designed the grip (although I've always been told I've got big hands!!!), or there is no way to naturally reach the INFO button.
I've finally got the camera configured the way i wan, and understand some of the customization options much better, unfortunately some of them are not accessed when using the grip when shooting vertically - which defeats the purpose of a vertical access grip!!!
Anyways, just needed to vent and wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same frustrations. Not sure if its the fact that Canon has moved some of the buttons around, or omitted buttons that did exist on previous grips. All i know is that with some of the configuration changes, the placement of the buttons just make it hard to use the grip and they should have included those on the grip!!!
