Default compact camera grips?

where can i get a compact camera grip (if they even make them)? i just bought a canon ps sx120, which i love, but it is a little small for my hands. i knew that going into the purchase and was looking for something that may make it a little easier to hold on to. i can make one but was going to try to find one online first.

Honestly, I don't believe they make battery grips for P&S cameras. If you can make a DIY grip for yours, go for it.

i might should have been more specific, i dont need a battery grip. i just kind of have larger clumsy hands and just need something to add a little more handling space.

Not sure if anyone makes any type grip for your model - I did a quick google search for "grips for point and shoot cameras" and I found one place that makes a stick-on grip for the S90, but that's about it.

Still think Susan's post is valid: any kind of handle or grip for compacts is gonna be hard to find. You can get one for the G series cameras, and one for Leicas, but I doubt theres anything specific for the SX120is.
