Panasonic DMW-BGS1 Reviews

Great Grip

No gripes. Great grip. Get it.

Perfect Fit and Flawless Integration

Unlike all too many grips designed for various mirrorless cameras (such as the Canon and Fuji and Sony) This is the FIRST Ive run across that once in place literally becomes a part of the camera and was designed to perfectly integrate with both the look AND the feel. Such an ergonomic home run. When you place this on your S1 (or S1R) it allows you to seamlessly go from landscape to portrait orientation without ANY interruptions via controls or feel. Well done Panasonic.......your designers were NOT asleep at the wheel as those other manufacturers were in my opinion. NONE looks, feels or works as well as this grip on the intended camera.
