I prefer to _not_ use \"battery grips\" on my cameras. Like you, I\'d much rather stuff a few extra batteries in pockets than add the extra bulk/weight of the grip.
And I\'m unimpressed by the notion that putting a grip on a small camera makes it look bigger an more pro. :-)

Well that\'s how I see all battery grips on DSLR\'s. If I want more battery life on a small factor DSLR, I would rather stuff more batteries in my pocket. I find vertical grip shooting to be of little use as I\'m so used to swinging my arm around and keeping it on the primary shutter button, regardless of the orientation I want to shoot.
To each his own, I\'m sure some people would have a use for such an accessory.
