We are using the grip with the newest batteries by canon and promaster. When
I photograph a wedding with the D20 we will usually shoot over 700 images
and at the end of the evening we still have power to spare. I just make sure
the batteries are fully charged right before we load up to go. With the
older batteries we would usually change twice during an event-but not any
longer.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Wilber

My 20D with battery grip (& 2 batteries) is only getting about

The batteries are Canon originals about 4 months old and my usual
lens is a 24-70 2.8 L (no IS to help kill batteries).
Is this normal???? I thought I'd be getting over 1000 exposures per
charge. I don't review the photos after each shot and power saving is
set to 2 minutes.
Are you getting more shots when you don't use the grip but have the
battery in the camera? There seem to be design flaw with the grip.
Canon offers a free repair. Look at the 20D support section of the Canon
US website for details.

I haven't tried it without the grip (the grip is so handy). I wonder if
using the grip with one battery would make a difference? I've mentioned
this problem a few times to the Sales Manager (who sold me the camera) and
he doesn't seem interested in solving it.
I'll have a look at the Canon website.
Thanks for the info
Rob
