[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 625006, member: 24285"] I like my D500 but notice it burns through batteries much faster than my D610 or D7100 even though it is the same battery. I'm looking at a battery grip. Never have had a grip on any of my cameras. Nikon's is so expensive. $500.00 CDN from B&H imported, $600 if I buy it in Canada (and get the warranty). The reviews I've read suggest the third party grips are better than 'good enough' - sure Nikon is best, but not 5x better. Vello (B&H) brand is $119 CDN plus the "Free Shipping" fee of $8.10 (it's a clear customs without hassles fee) Meike from Amazon.CA is also $80.00 but the free shipping comes a no cost. Neewer Brand is $89 & Pixel brand is $105. There are a few other brand names I do not recognize, some come with free batteries. I think I'll avoid those ones. They come in $45 to $100. Anyone know if these are all the same grip just rebranded? Vello gets good reviews. I've ready in this thread that users are happy (were happy when they posted anyway). Not sure which one I'd go with, Amazon.ca avoids customs issues and cross border returns can be expensive to ship back. [/QUOTE]
