 Makes the camera last a lot longer March 22, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a cool implimentation of a much needed device for those with D200s. The camera loves batteries. Having two is good! Having the ability to watch one drain and knowing there's another on standbye is a fine feeling. Knowing that there are two more batteries in the case waiting is even better! For a full day of shooting, you need this and some serious memory. Highly recommended. Also handles AAs... always good in field conditions.
Nikon MB-D200 Battery Pack March 14, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Ever since my first purchase of my MB-D100 Battery Pack (for my Nikon D100 DSLR) I have made it a point to get one for every new DSLR that I purchased. I believe I even got one for my Nikon N65 film SLR way back when. I currently have a D100, D80 and a D200 and they are all equipped with the corresponding battery pack.
Let's face it, the D200 IS a battery hog! Maybe 650-700 shots per battery and less if you have auto preview on or preview each shot. With that in mind, the dual battery compartment makes this battery hog shoot forever! When I shoot weddings, I work all day and take nothing short of 10gb of photos and there is still juice in it when we leave... Impressive. I DO change my batteries half way through the day out of "principality" and
for more reliability but if you are in a pinch, you can just throw 6 AA batteries in the backup holster and slide that into the compartment. We all know AAs can be bought almost everywhere so you can ALWAYS shoot!
The most crucial part of this battery pack is the side shutter release button. No longer will you have to uncomfortably twist and turn your right hand to strenuous angles if you want to compose a vertical shot. When you turn your camera sideways, the extra shutter release button is right there where you are used to. When paired with the shutter and aperture command dials you are ready to go quickly and efficiently. Comfort factor is huge with this grip. The grip fits into your hand like a glove and is very sturdy and stable when mounted to the camera itself. I swear I could hold my camera with one well placed finger on that battery grip!
I did notice that my wife and co-photographer had a bit of trouble couping with the sheer weight of this camera + battery pack but after dealing with it and shooting, she quickly adjusted and now fell in love with the packs as well.
The other features on the grip are nice to have but not essential such as the AF lock and such... Well done Nikon!
Best way to go if your going.... March 2, 2007

 Aaah... makes shooting verticals MUCH easier February 18, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've always hated how cumbersome it is to shoot verticals with 35mm and digital: having to contort one's arm over the head, twist the wrist, etc. This pretty much solves that problem. Granted, it is difficult to reach the thumb pad on the camera, but at least you can use the AF-On button and the front wheel to change focus areas. Build quality? I figure Nikon went with plastic to minimize weight and cost. I wish the latch on the battery door were a bit more robust, however.
It changes the balance of the camera, making it feel much more 'centered', especially with my goto lens, the 18-200mm VR. It also is much better balanced with my SB-600 flash attached.
Overall, I'd say this is a 'must have', probably the second accessory you should get after a flash unit. Oh yes, it also tends to command R-E-S-P-E-C-T from people, be that good or bad...
D2xs dont flatter yourself February 7, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A very nice accessory for the D200. Doesn't add a whole lot of weight but it does officially make the D200 plus battery pack...slightly taller than the D2x, just slightly. This has the main and sub control dials plus a multi function button. A must have for sports shooters and people with larger hands who want more space for their pinky.
