The optional new vertical grip, which holds two batteries, has the exact same feel as the horizontal grip; for instance, it preserves the relative position of the viewfinder to your hands, and replicates all of the controls, including the joystick and custom function button. In fact, I frequently forgot I was shooting vertically and tried to manipulate the AF dial below the lens, which (for obvious reasons) wasn't there.
