I will buy one from USA Market. Can i ask you if the 2nd battery is a part of the part or i must buy one more????

[TheOther328DLCR]

@MAXXAM2104 You need to buy the extra battery

[AngelOfLake]

Humm.. To remove the battery grip do you have to do anything special or just spin that lock thing? 'Cause I can't get it off now... D:

[TheOther328DLCR]

@AngelOfLake Just unscrew it and pull it off

[ortleysurfer4197]

wow $144? do you think its worth it? you can get other non namebrand for like $30 or $40

[TheOther328DLCR]

@ortleysurfer4197 I like it because when I buy Canon I know im getting quality.

I disagree about the AA batteries rack, it is great for emergencies as you can just buy some AA batteries load them and you are ready to go

@Puidediavol1 Hey there, always buy a better body. the t2i gets extremely blurry with lowlight, so i recommend getting a 7d, some good lenses, a grip, and other stuff. don't go cheap, because a t2i with good lenses is not as good as a 7d with mid-ranged lenses.

Nice video!I have about 4500-5000 dollars,maybe more for my first D-SLR.What advise me? Canon 550D+Canon BG-E8+Canon 50mm 1.4 usm+Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8+Canon 85mm f/1.8(or Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro)+Tamron 70-300mm VC USD+Canon 430EX II(x 2 + radio transmiter kit and accessories) or to look for a better body?60D for example.What would you recommend?What is real life's of 550D?Make an investment for at least 5 years.Excuse the expression,i`m from Romania and I have some problems with English.Thanks!
