Hi, what's the importance of a "battery grip"? d3100 my first dslr...
Currently there is plans for an aftermarket grip, but not in production yet.

I emailed phottix the other night asking if they will be coming out with a D3100 grip. I got an email back saying that they will be coming out with a battery grip this late February. im excited, idk about you guys. hahaha
BW, welcome to Nikonites. Hope you enjoy the site and get all your questions answered here.
One of the reasons I got the grip for my D200 was for the dual battery feature, thinking that if one battery expired, the other would kick in. Such is not the case with my grip, and I don't know why it doesn't automatically switch over to the fresh battery. Perhaps I'm missing a setting for this feature, I don't know. Hopefully, someone can explain this to me.
Sorry......didn't mean to hijack the thread. Just wanted to add that.
I don't have a problem with the battery switching. I use all Nikon batteries. (I have an aftermarket battery grip.) I have read on other forums that there is a problem with aftermarket batteries making the switch. Could that be the problem?
The one for my D200 has a slide switch, Battery 1 or 2....
