 Nikon MB-D10 Power Pack does the job. October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought this power pack along with a new Nikon D700.
The pack is simple, and works just fine.
Most excellent October 24, 2008

Eight frames/second and a vertical release makes my D-300 the king-of-the-hill as far as I'm concerned. I use Eneloop rechargable batteries and this combo ROCKS! I did have to get some bigger cf cards, as my old 2 gigs weren't getting it any more. So many good shots I have a hard time editing them all.
you gotta have this grip for your d300/d700 October 15, 2008

what i like about this grip is that you can use it WITHOUT any batteries inside the grip's chamber as long as you have batteries inside your d300/d700 body....the grip is fully functional. because of this, i always have the grip attached and only put the batteries in the grip for extra juice to shoot 8fps.
Essential Accessory for Extended Battery Capacity and Extra Speed October 13, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Like most photo accessories, the MB-D10 is essential IF you really need the features it offers. I'm not going to argue the justification for it's exorbitant price - let's face it, it's absurdly expensive. However, if you need expanded battery capacity and/or the extra speed it is capable of providing (using AA or the optional EN-EL4a battery), there really is no viable alternative.
I bought the MB-D10 for my D300 for a couple of reasons. While I don't particularly need the extra speed it is capable of providing, I do need the extra battery capacity and strongly prefer the additional grip surface area, which makes handling the camera with a 70-200 f2.8 attached a little easier and more stable. The additional weight it adds is fairly inconsequential in my opinion.
I use it primarily for outdoor sports photography, and while I could simply carry an extra battery or two with me, I like not having to worry about it running out in the midst of a shoot and potentially missing a shot. By default, the camera uses the MB-D10 battery first, then automatically switches to the camera battery. It provides the flexibility of powering the camera using AA batteries in an emergency. It also provides a vertical shutter release and additional auxiliary controls. I should also point out that unlike a few other reviewers, I have not found the shutter release on the MB-D10 to be any more sensitive than the one on the camera (I keep my camera in CH mode).
Pros: Minimal additional weight, very solid magnesium construction, very well designed battery compartment and release mechanism. Provides additional battery capacity, faster frames/sec., emergency AA battery functionality, vertical shutter release, and auxiliary controls.
Cons: Stupid expensive, neither the standard EN-EL3e nor the EN-EL4a battery is included, must remove the MB-D10 to access the camera battery.
Bottom line: Either your need for the MB-D10 justifies the cost or it doesn't. For $35 you can simply buy a second battery to carry. But if you need the flexibility of extended uninterrupted shooting, 8 frames per second speed, or simply prefer the additional grip area, this is a great accessory for your D300 or D700. I use it, love it, and have no regrets.
 Not really worth the money October 1, 2008

Having the ability to shoot a little faster is nice in sports photography but really not needed in most cases. If you want to get the most out of your D700/300 get it which is the main reason why I did. The vertical grip is good but I can do the vertical shots without it just as good. The extra battery life is nice when I went on a week long trip. I took about 1000 pictures so I could of gotten by if I just brought my charger along or a extra battery pack. For the contents I decided to just go with the Nimh double AA batteries. I had some already with the SB-600 speedlight and knew how well they worked.
