Customer Reviews
Adds weight, but has a good, solid feel to it - even for female hands!
I have been using the battery grip on my D200 since I got it 5 months ago and have not taken it off. Although it adds considerable weight with the two EN-EL3e batteries in it, it has a nice heft to it and feels really solid in my hands. Even with the grip, the D200 still feels lighter than the D2H for my medium female hands, and I shoot 1000+ frames/week as a portrait photographer.
I LOVE the command dials & shutter release button on the grip - it makes portrait shooting a breeze and really saves your wrists and arms from contortionist poses.
I do notice, however, that when both batteries are inserted, they tend to drain faster than when inserted one at a time. This may simply be an anomaly or my perception, but I always keep a third battery charged and in my bag just in case.
Have not tried it with the alkaline battery converter, but it is nice to have that as an option.
LOVE this grip!
