Indispensible
Pros: Expands the abilities of the a900.
Cons: None yet.
I bought this at the same time as my a900, due simply to the fact that I'd had the Vgrip on my a700 and found it to be an important part of the camera, in addition to counter balancing some of the 'bigger' lenses. I can see no reason that this would not continue to be the case on the a900. Plus, I've got large hands and it just 'feels good'.

Get one
Pros: Love it, everything
Cons: can only fit 1 on the camera
This is a must have it makes the A900 complete in all its functions. Nothing but praise here for this grip as it makes shooting just that much easier. With all the buttons in the right place regardless of the shooting angle you just cant go wrong. I love it

Not disappointed
Pros: Great build quality, well laid out, I like the dual battery indicator on camera
Cons: camera/grip on heavy side, no AA battery carriage
I bought a Minolta D7 along with the camera grip available at the time and found it indispensible. When I bought the A900 I was hoping the grip would be at least as good. I was very happy when I got it out of the box. It is heavy, but build quality is outstanding. The buttons are well marked and the joy stick is made as well as the one on the camera itself. The grip fits my hand very well. My wife thought it was large but not unmanagable for a woman. A nice feature I hadn't expected was the battery indicator on the camera shows both batteries in the grip. It will give you a running charge level on the fiirst battery until it is exhausted and then will show the second battery. I was however disappointed this grip does not give you the flexibilty to use AA batteries when in a pinch. The Minolta had a carriage you could put 8 AA batteries in and slide it into the battery compartment of the grip. Nice when batteries become unavailable. All in all this is an excellent product and would have no reservations in recommending it.
