does the battery door close on the a7s?

Yes it does. If you look closely at the battery door you'll see a little rubber door the same size of the wire. :)

Hello. There is a battery cover, but it does not cover the entire area where the batteries are inserted. The cover ensures that if you are using AA batteries they will stay in the case. The open area of the battery cover also allows certain rechargeable camera batteries, that are shaped in a bulky way, to be used with the cover on. Thank you

I have yet to see one for sale, but I would imagine that there is a Sony part number for the battery holder. I must add that I have been very happy with the grip and have not witnessed any of the alleged shutter vibration issues with the grip permanently attached to the a7r.

Not at all. This is form-fitting to the original battery, and extended ones are WAY bigger; they bulge out quite a bit more (At least for the 7000MAH ones) The ones by Anker I suggest, and the battery door doubles as a case. Hope this helps :)

I don't recall any problem with the battery door. It's pretty simple unless it is broken. The directions are helpful.

Make sure the little grey "slide" that you use to open the door to get the batteries out slides all the way back into place fully after you securely close the battery door.

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

My camera is new so I have not repaced the batteries yet but I find the door latch awkward and difficult to use. I'm hoping that I don't have problems and will be very careful when replacing batteries. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

Yes . There is a lock on the case between the photo lens and the on-off switch. From there you can just start popping the catches down the long side. When you get the cover off there are two (2) locks that hold the battery in, one will stay open and one is spring loaded. Tip the battery out and replace it. Reverse procedures and your done. Hope this is helpful

Yes, the batteries and the SD card are stored in the same compartment in the bottom of the camera. If you try and force the battery door to close and lock when it's not in position, you'll probably break it. That's what people do. The door is only plastic. If you open and close the battery door carefully and slide it into the locked position without forcing it, you'll be OK. I've had my Canon for two years and have not had any problems with the door, and I've changed the batteries and SC card more time than I can remember.

Yes, the new door that comes with the battery sticks out quite a bit. While it does look strange, the extended battery life has been fantasic! The time between charges is more than double the orignal battery.

No. The battery compartment is hinged. It will flip out. The just touch the hole on the underside of the battery compartment. The battery will pop out for replacement.

You simply remove the door with a small click and it stows away in a slot in the portion of the grip that slides up into the camera body. The battery door is then safe without fear of it getting lost and available in case you ever wish to remove the battery grip.

closes tightly---the foam can be trimmed to accomodate a square battery--the only problem is the size---it was designed before the longer batteries came into production so the size is approximately 7" x 1 3/4" so most tanks have to be taken off in order to use it

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

Mine closes fine. There are two tiny, uhhh, thingys :) on the either side that just snap right in to place. If anything I have more problems getting the flap open!

I have not had a problem so far with the battery compartment door. It is a great possibility though the way it is constructed., you have to force the batteries down with the door as you push the latch over. I have not had my L620 very long, but no problems yet. I am not sure why Nikon built a camera like the l620, all other Nikons I have seen have a latch to hold the battery or batteries in the battery compartment.
