ltma said:Just wondering what is the advantage of having a "grip". I have one for D100, I bought it because I thought it will be useful because I can have two batteries in the grip for prolonged shooting. But recently I took it off because my gear is becoming pretty heavy, and I can rely on one battery for most of my shooting.
It's supposed to be better for stability and offers you additional shutter button for portrait orientation. But i agree with you on the weight part as i often shoot for long periods. Add in flash and it's no joke. As long as the thumb muscle or back muscles are sore, i don't like it.
