A little pricey, but worth it [Posted on 2008-07-09]
An awesome extension for the D200. It doubles the operating time, and adds extra grip options for the camera.
Nice [Posted on 2008-07-13]
First a word of caution: you will have to buy a second battery in order to use this one to its maximum potential. On the plus side it provides you with a much more stable grip on the camera and it also provides a second vertical shutter button. Fort that alone it is worth the extra expense.
GREAT BATTERY PACK FOR NIKON D200 [Posted on 2008-07-17]
Great battery pack. Easily fits on the bottom of your Nikon D200 and doesn't add that much weight. Be sure to have a couple of the big batteries as pictured in some of the photos. I get those b/c they last so much longer. This battery pack also has a place inside the vertical piece to hold the D200's battery cover/lid that is on the bottom of your camera. That way you don't lose that important piece while having this on your camera. It's all right there. It has been working well and is good-looking on the camera too. Also, [...] LLC delivered very quickly, and the price is the best I have found in my research.
Plasticky but nice [Posted on 2008-07-30]
In comparisment to the D200 body this grip feels very cheap and plasticky. Also the doors to the battery compartment look like they won't last long.
But those are the only bad things about this grip. It works as it should while adding an extra weight and better balance to the camera.
Very good, but has a few of aspects that could be better [Posted on 2008-08-08]
The battery grip is really good to have and I recommend it to anyone who does not have a "Professional-Level" SLR. However, there are a but things that bother me with the Nikon D200 Vertical Grip:
1. The auto-focus button on the grip is in a weird place compared to where it is on the camera. Therefore, it takes some time and a little practice to get used to it.
2. The vertical grip is not quite as comfortable feeling as the horizontal grip is. I blame this on Nikon not spending as much time on the vertical grip as they should/could have spent. The vertical grip for the Nikon D300 is noticeably more comfortable and attests to Nikon simply needing to spend some more time.
3. When looking at the grip, it does not seem as sturdy of a build or as sealed as the D200 camera is. This may or may not matter to you, but it is still a bothersome point to me.
With every product there will always be "bothersome points". Therefore, do not take my review as a make or break decision for you. You NEED this grip. Even if it is the worst thing in the world (which it is not by far) you would still need a vertical grip! So, buy the grip, you will love it. It will simply take some time and effort to get similar with. Go outside and shoot some pics for a few hours and you will probably have it down.
