Decking out the Canon 80D with accessories.

[Chako]

I just received an order from Amazon. I ordered a sun shade for the kit lens and a battery grip for the camera. I find it interesting that I like to deck out my DSLRs with a battery grip,  and yet, I don't want on on the smaller and much lighter mirrorless R100. Mind you, I think Canon doesn't even make on for that camera at all, but if it did, I do not feel the need to buy one. I also added a Canon EP-EX15 viewfinder adaptor. It adds to the eye relief, but as an eyeglass wearer, it allows me to get close up and see the whole viewfinder. It makes it smaller, but well worth it to be able to see everything. I removed this one from the 50D.

I am really liking JJC for lens hoods. They fit like OEM for a fraction of the cost.

It was hard to turn down this third party battery grip. The price was a steal compared to a Canon. I am amazed at the quality feel of the battery grip. Even rubberized like the camera.

The guy who owned the 80D before me bought a second battery. Now they both fit inside nicely. There is even an alternative 6 AA battery sled included.

The only thing that is left to do is to order a camera hand grip and remove that neck strap. Neck straps get in the way. I can not stand them.
