Got big Hands? May 12, 2007

This is a wonderful addition to my D200.
It does add weight to the D200 and makes it a rather large camera but for a guy with large hands it feels great!
The addition battery make batteriers a non-issue with the D200.

A winner for all Nikonians April 6, 2007
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I got my MB-D200 last fall and after more than 6 months of using it I should say that Nikon has created a winner yet again!!!
THE GOOD:
1. The ability to have 2 fully charged batteries while going out to the field gives you that extra peace of mind.
2. In addition Nikon has added a menu that will give the shooter a very good indication of the battery power remaining. I have been able to get more than 200 shots in a day starting out with 2 fully charged batteries in the MB-D200.
3. The weight increase is very minimal and in fact the meager increase in weight enables the shooter to balance the camera better.
4. It was very thoughtful of Nikon to add the shutter release buttons for taking portrait shots and the main and sub command dials, to the MB-D200. I find myself using these controls quite frequently. If the user had to revert to the controls on the camera it would have been quite frustrating IMHO.
5. If you are a nature/landscape/wildlife photographer, you can carry additional AA batteries with you in the field and rest assured that you won't miss out on the "Kodak moment" due to a drained battery.
Some suggestions for improvement:
1. The first thing I noticed was the latch on the battery compartment. It feels quite flimsy and I wish Nikon had done a better job on this. A latch along the lines of the one found on the camera to release the door for the compact flash card would have been solid IMHO.
2. Though I mentioned that you can use AA batteries (you will need 6 of them), they can drain out amazingly fast, depending on the type of lens (with or without VR), depending on whether you are using the in-built or external flash and other variables. So you will need quite a few AA batteries if you ever have to rely on them in the field. To overcome this problem I am thinking about purchasing 2 more EN-EL3e batteries as I have found that they have impressive battery life once fully charged.
Hope that this review was useful to you! Thanks for reading!
Update as of 12/29/07: For those users who are thinking that this can be used with the new model, Nikon D300, please note that the MB-D200 *will not* work with the D300. The D300 comes with its own MB-D10 which is different in construction from the D200. This is just a note of caution in case you are planning/contemplating purchasing this for the D300.
Thanks!
Power pack advantage March 31, 2007

The pack holds two EN_EL3 batteries and makes holding the camera even easier. By checking the battery power you can determine exactly what percentage of power is left in each battery. It' heavy, but I like that in a camera.
It Improves Handling and More March 28, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The handling for portrait shots (vertical format) is improved. This is because the battery grip has its own shutter button and mode dials. With the battery grip on the D200, the camera's size closely approximates that of the Nikon D2X. The weight also understandably increases, but I think it helps to keep the camera steadier; especially with shaky hands and when the wind is blowing hard. This battery grip is ideal for travel, because if you run out both batteries, you can load up six AA batteries into the grip and keep making photographs. It's a well-made, sturdy accessory that I can highly recommend.
