[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 33077, member: 1061"] Yup, those BlackRapid straps are VERY nice. I ultimately went with a Sun Sniper strap because I thought it was more comfortable, but either way you can't go wrong. Taking the camera weight off your neck is a major plus. As for the Zeikos grip, I did a review in a [URL="http://nikonites.com/blogs/anthony-hereld/25-product-review-zeikos-ze-ngb90-power-battery-grip.html"]blog post[/URL] awhile back when I had one for my D90. Never had any issues with it. That said, I now use the Nikon grip on my D300s. +1 on knockoff batteries. I would never recommend non-Nikon batteries because they're never going to be as good. Ever. Batteries fall into the "you get what you pay for" category. --------------------------------------- As for me personally, I'm in the same boat as Rick and am in a holding pattern on gear for the remainder of 2011. There are a few odds and ends I would like to pick up, but no major purchases coming down the pipes until tax refund season unless I spot a major deal around the holidays. Here's the upcoming hit list: [LIST] [*] 17-55mm f/2.8 [*]Muslin backdrops [*]3rd AlienBees B800 light, possibly a 4th [*]Induro CT313 carbon fiber tripod [/LIST] Also add to that list some updates to the home studio. I would like to put in some hardwood flooring this winter and get the carpet out of there. Some new office furniture is being looked at as well. [/QUOTE]
