Can the 1D-X somehow use AA batteries (like other EOS cameras with battery grips can)?

Ed, I'm not sure- Never tried or looked into it- I bought two batteries and a charger so that when one battery is run down, I just pop the other one in while hte first one is charging again. My feeling is that if you are goign to spend nearly $8,000 on z camera setup, then get the recommended batteries to go with it- they will last longer per charge, and I've noticed that usiung the 1DX in live view mode really drains hte batteries quick, especially if using the timer too- So I like to keep one battery always charged and ready to go

I don't believe so. The battery for the 1d is much more compact than the grip so I don't think you could fit enough AA batteries to work. That said, my 1dx last longer than my dual battery grip on my 5dmkiii.

No. I have never seen this function available. The 1D Series use a completely different HUGE battery compared to the 'regular' one used by Rebel, 5D, 6D, 60D, 7D, etc.

If that is your intent, there is an external intervalometer that handles the shutter release. You can use the wall power without the grip. I have both. The set up and work the same way, just one plugs into the remote control plug on the side of the camera and the other mounts in the battery slot. http://www.amazon.com/Neewer%C2%AE-Shutter-Release-Control-Hasselblad/dp/B003Q9RERY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397737835&sr=8-1&keywords=intervalometer

You CAN use rechargeable batteries. The only failing of this "bridge" camera is that it has no built-in recharge capability (but a lot of more expansive digital camera don't either). Nikon sell you additional rechargeable battery packs. At least the GE 500 used AA's. I bought a lot of AA batteries when I was in Seoul, South Korea. Hope that helps.

Yes, You can use AA batteries but make sure they are lithieum or they will not last long. The re-charge batteries are the best.

The Canon PowerShot SX50 uses its own type of battery - not AA batteries. I carry a spare off-brand battery.

A question ??? Does this camera use AA batteries which I want ? Is this camera the same size as the ie A1400 camera??? That one I ordered and I am sending it back as it is way too small for my old ,shaking hands. Camera did not seem sturdy.Thank you. I do want a camera that uses aa batteries..know of any a bit larger than this camera?

Yes, I was told at a battery store that you can use AAs when I took the radio in to them. Just make sure you orient them correctly. I have had only one battery problem so far.

You can only use the grip. Replaces the specific camera battery with the grip, which uses a series of AAs.

I dont use AA batteries because they don't last very long. I use 2 Canon E6 batteries.

Using regular AA batteries, yes, this will happen. I use Lithium AA batteries and they last through hundreds of pictures including flash. More expensive but well worth the convenience!

I have had no problems with the batteries in my EOS-M. They work well and come out easily when I hit the tab in the battery compartment.

Hi Jeffrey,If you !mean you have several different brands of batteries then that won't make a difference. I use both Canon and 3rd party batteries in this grip with no problem.As for other batteries, I don't think you can use them. At least the one i got didn't come with an AA adapter. I hope this helps.

Yes, you definitely can use the battery grip as the sole source of power. I prefer not to put a battery in the D7000 when the grip is in place. It is simple enough to change the battery in the grip when the battery is exhausted, so there really isn't a need to use two batteries (especially given the long life of the EN-EL15 battery). And you don't have to go into the menus to do this. Simply remove the battery from your camera, and put one in the grip and you are ready to take photos. I got my MB-D11 three days ago and have been taking photos all three days without a need to make my first battery change (433 captures). Also, my MB-D11 has none of the problems reported by others and is a classic example of Nikon quality.

No, this camera does not use AA batteries and this Canon camera uses a rechargeable battery and they are not too expensive and charges rather fast. I have several off-branded batteries and a couple of Canon batteries for this camera and battery life seems rather good for any battery I have used in this camera. You also get the Canon battery charger along with a battery with this camera.

Yes. I purchased an off brand battery grip for one of my cameras. The grip itself feels very light and plasticy but having two batteries there makes a huge difference in how many shots I get in one day. If you care about the name, buy a Nikon grip. If you don't care about the name, start reading reviews until you find one you like.

So far as the grip is concerned, the only time you use AC power is to recharge the batteries when they are out of the grip. . All accessory connections plug into the side of the 5D Mark III, except the AC adapter that goes into the same slot as the grip itself. If you use the AC adapter that is shaped like a battery and goes into the camera, you'll take off the grip and insert the adapter battery in the bottom of the camera. The grip provides 2 batteries, and long battery life, many exposures. Of course, you only need one AC adapter and you can have access by the simple removal of the grip from the camera. I don't use the AC adapter. I want my camera free as possible and I like the button placement and size of the grip, so it is always in place. If you have 2 chargers for your batteries or perhaps 2 chargers and a spare set of batteries as well, you'll find the grip works quite well and the AC adapter is not required (unless you have a very specific industrial or other application for the camera). I know of no photographers who use anything other than the grip--no one I know who uses the AC adapter. I don't like cords in my way. Good luck.

No it can't. You can use two AA batteries, or buy rechargeable AA batteries, but they will die fairly fast. Also for better quality pictures I'd highly recommend Nikon products instead. I had this camera and I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the photos. Good luck! :)
