For some reason the Canon grips for their digital bodies are positively huge. The 10D's grip is about twice as large as the D- BG1 for the D.
That's because the batteries are, relatively speaking, quite large. It takes that much room to hold two side by side. Minolta's grip for the Maxxum 7D is about the same, and Nikon's for the D100 is also about the same. The Minolta grip is the only one I've worked with that comes with a holder and lets you run the camera on 6 AA cells in a pinch. I thought that was a great idea.
