Now for the original (BG-E9):
- Rubber of high quality, corresponds to the EOS 60D in appearance (rubber) and feel
- No loose connection problems
- The 1-battery-use is from the camera "accepted" (like the replica) - important for me, because the use of
Two batteries seems to me too hard or too unbalanced
- The white lettering above the three buttons lasts and lasts - as in Body
- Absolute fit with the original Kirk L-bracket for the EOS 60D with BG
CONCLUSION:
- Rather just buy the original!
- Technical / mechanical and haptic superior to the replicas probably
- No accessories problems (L-angle, replica batteries) / fit
- Value for money, despite the approximately double the price (and no extra batteries)
- And the general wisdom in the end: Who dime, buy twice (as I did).
In this sense: The BG-E9 rocks and is a fine thing that (unfortunately) comes at a price.
