 Handy & makes camera look very professional September 30, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you wish to have longer battery life & want your camera to look more professional -this is the way to go. It's a convenitent way to carry two batteries. Super handy when shooting vertical shots.
Only bad things.... it's a piece of plastic & is no way near in build of the D200. Still I like it a lot. My next camera (ordered the D300) will immediately, when available, have a grip - cause that grip is built much sturdier & will allow for 8 fps with stronger batteries. I really find myslef enjoying having a grip for my D200 & from now on will probably always get them.
 Useful & reliable July 21, 2007
The MB-200 in my opinionis a great addition to my Nikon D200. It gives me the assurance that I can take as many shots as I need to at an event (ie: weddings) without having to worry much about battery life. It does on the other hand add a bit of bulk & weight to the camera which may take some getting used to. I would reccomend it to all my fellow D200 users. Great product!
Great product! July 8, 2007

I an avid internet shopper and I love amazon's customer reviews for which I put weight on my decision to buy or not to buy a particular item. When I reviewed all the comments on this unit, it made me quite confused because of some negative comments regarding the "plasticky" nature of the build and with some commenting on a "not too good a fit" with the D200 body.
When I saw the product itself, I could not see any of those negatives ever mentioned. It is well built (sturdy plastic built helps in reducing the already heavy camera body), it extends battery life since you can now put two batteries instead of one, easy for vertical shots and it has the flexibility in allowing us to use AA batteries in the event that you run out of the EN EL3e battery. Honestly, I could not see any negatives on this product and I give it an unconditional 5 stars. No ifs and no buts about it!! If you are contemplating on getting one, just go ahead and do it...surely you won't regret it!
Don't Chicken Wing Your Portraits June 1, 2007

When I got my D100, I bought it used, and it came with this equivalent hand grip. When I upgraded to a D200, I initially thought I didn't need this handgrip... but wow did I miss it.
First, if you take portrait-oriented photos at all, this is a hand grip with a control dial and shutter button exactly where you expect them. You can take portrait orientation without sticking your arm out like a chicken wing.
Second, with the D200, even with the cool battery management capabilities, battery life seems shorter than the similar setup did on the D100... probably because of the bigger screen, faster sustained picture rate, etc. The ability to stick two batteries in this really extends battery life.
Those two things combined make the investment in the D200 so much more useful.
On the D100 version of this, the handset adds a small microphone so you can annotate individual photos. I used that feature exactly once, when I wanted to figure out how it worked. This handset does noe include that feature, and I'm thankful - this handset is *much* more inexpensive than the D100 handset, probably because of smart design decisions like this. The courage to cut a feature rather than add more useless stuff is refreshing - and what earned this the last start to push it into the '5 star' category.

This device is great, it doubles the life of my d200, and it also rounds out the feel of the camera. the vertical shutter button is oddly placed, but i have never felt one that felt right.this is good for some one looking to even out the weight on their camera when using long lenses, or if you need more battery power
