Hi
I have a Canon 300D with a BG-E3 Grip/power pack.
I am looking to upgrade to a Canon 40D which uses a BG-E2 grip.
What I want to know is if the BG-E3 can be used on the 40D - I think the answer is no but wondered if anyobe knew for certain?
Thanks
Tony,
You are correct. The BG-E3 works with the Digital Rebel / 300D/350D line of Canons. The BG-E2 works with the 20D/30D/40D line, which are different body styles. To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to use an E3 on a 40D.

Thanks Chris
Will have to start saving!
Also, can you tell me what the diiference is between the BG-E2 and the BG-E2N? The N seems to be the same just with weatherproofing but seems a lot more expensive? Is that right?
Tony
Tony,
I don't own either grip for my 30D, but from what I've read/heard, the E2N is an upgraded version of the E2. Primary improvements in the E2N are the weatherproofing for the battery compartment and a better textured grip.
