 A little pricey, but worth it July 9, 2008
An awesome extension for the D200. It doubles the operating time, and adds extra grip options for the camera.
 Nikon refuses to correct flaw in design March 23, 2008
The battery clips are prone to break.
It is a known problem for Nikon owners of the MB-D200 battery pack.
I have another unit that they refused to repair and it cost me $75 TO REPAIR. I belong to Nikonnian website and it's common knowledge that these tab clips break.
All the other manufacturers use a different system.
I wrote Nikon and they told me they would look into it.
I had no choice but to buy another one.
 Nice Addition to Nikon D200 January 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After I bought my nikon D200, I knew that it just a matter of time before I will purchase one for my camera. Reading all the reviews here, I finally break down and ordered thru Amazon. I read the manual and installed the Grip to my D200. What a big difference It handle better. I order this grip even though I have total of 4 batteries for my D200. Now I have more peace of mind that I can carry AA for spare in my Back Pack. For the latch to hold the cover, I finally figure out not to break it by pushing the cover gently while slowly turning the latch without forcing it , so not to break the locking mechanism inside. I love the feel in my hand , use it to my tripod without removing the grip and it is very stable. Plus I also ordered the cable release for really sharp picture shooting. For the price you can't go wrong. Very easy to shoot potrait now. I have wedding to do this March so, I'm ready to rock with my Nikon D200, SB 800 and my Spare Nikon D70. Now debating which lens to get between 17-55 f/2.8 or 70-200mm F/2.8 VR...need help
Battery Pack January 7, 2008
This accessory is great. You have the advantage of using the battery pack or 6 AA batteries. It holds two battery packs and switches from one to the other as needed. If you are out and about and can't charge the packs, you can use AA batteries!
Nikon MB-D200 - Functional but not the greatest December 31, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I shoot a lot of portraits. Before I owned an F4 film camera, I had never had a camera that offered a vertical positioned shutter release. After shooting with that F4, I promised myself that any camera I used in the future would also have that option. That worked fine with the film bodies, F4, N90s, F100. But when I went digital with a D70, I was in for disappointment. There was no full featured battery pack for the D70. I had hoped the D200 would emulate the solid, ergonomic film camera packs or even the built in functionality of an F5 or a D2X.
Early on, I read complaints about the construction of the MB-D200, especially the battery locks. I also read about the poor ergonomics. But I really wanted a vertical release as well as the added battery capacity of the MB-D200. So I figured if worst came to worst, I could obtain the newer, heavier-duty battery locks from Nikon and replace them myself if they broke. So I got one.
The good news is that the battery capacity is great with two EN-EL3E batteries. Shooting vertically is very good as well. But the previous remarks about the reach from the vertical grip to the multi-selector being excessive are correct. If I want to change focus points, I have to support the camera with my left hand and place my index finger on the vertical shutter release in order to reach the multi-selector with my thumb.
This battery pack is not very substantial in its build quailty. It flexes a bit when mounted on the camera unlike any other Nikon battery pack I have used. Another thing to consider when looking at adding this pack is that it increase the overall height of the camera to over 7 inches. It gets bigger than a D2X.
While I love the vertical shutter release, I too have some concerns about the longevity of this product. I think is overpriced for what it actually is. But if you need a vertical grip, it does what it is supposed to do, just not as elegantly or solidly as many other Nikon battery packs.
