I see it has the zoom buttons on the grip does it also have the extra one to snap pictures when you are holding it sidways?

Yes. It is on the right side front. There is also a scroll wheel like the one on top of the camera.
1158251
It has two zoom/function buttons, a scroll wheel and a shutter release with half press. So basically all the right hand thumb and finger functions of the camera for portrait orientation.

Yes, it does have that button. And the serious amateur / part-time pro photographer in our family remains very pleased with this grip.

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

Yes, it does. My purchase was for my second one. I lost my first one. I like it because it is an easy to use, small, reliable, and great picture taking camera.

Yes, it does. If you want to take pictures you need to remove it. Otherwise, it is nice, especially for reading!

It does not have a zoom. But its not needed. Super bright light. I don't leave the house with out it!

No, zoom or adjustable lens. It does have the five light setting which work pretty good for the price

There is no knob for zooming. It is accomplished by moving the body up or down within the clamp. There is a separate bezel for focus however. Quality good for what it does and price.

No it does not. The thickness is different and will not hold the same, plus locations are slightly different (buttons and camera)

To power-on and take pictures, Yes. To zoom or change to video, No. The only functions of the camera that will be available for you to use are the ones that you press a button to use. If you have to rotate/spin a dial of sorts in order to perform a function, then you're SOL.

Yes, most photo software will allow you to zoom on the photo. This is not a function of the camera or a feature you get with the camera.

My camera *did* come with a small remote control (WL-D89). It can be used to zoom, but you can't vary it.Edited to add: I just confirmed via the CanonUSA website that it is supposed to ship with the WL-D89.

Don't know why they left that detail out! It has a 40X optical zoom. Update coming soon. Battery life not the greatest but still a great performing camera. Wish it had external mic input or bluetooth mic capability.

It has a zoom lever, so if you use the lens that comes with it then yes it has power zoom, but you can also flip a switch to make it manual. Same apples to focus. It really just depends on the lens you use. You can also use a time code, but I'm unable to answer if you can do that specific of a thing with it.

No it doesn't. You can get a program to do digital zoom, but that is just blowing up the picture and making it fuzzy.
1890247
Yes it does. It will not hold a large camera with a large zoom, but will hold everything else ok

Yes it does which is exactly why I bought it. The viewfinder also zooms in and out; an unexpected bonus. We have used it for months now and like it. There is a delay if you want rapid repeat picture taking, but we do not. Also indoor pictures can be a little grainy. Overall, it is a good camera.
