[QUOTE="NIKONIAN_DREAMWEAVER, post: 402834, member: 36003"] Well, since you're getting the grip for free, try it out and see if you like it. It can be difficult to put into a camera bag, sometimes, depending on your equipment bag. I don't have a grip on my D7100 and I'm fine with that. The standard-battery life is very good, as has been previously stated... I don't have any problems holding the camera (portrait or landscape). Hopefully, they're giving you a 'Nikon' grip? There are some third-party grips out there; Vello comes to mind... I use slot 1 for RAW and slot 2 for JPEG fine. I too have never had a single problem with my SD cards and so, I don't really feel the need to use slot 2 for backup (although slot 2 is kind of a backup the way I'm using it...). I use Sandisk SD cards exclusively. Have fun with your D7100! :o [/QUOTE]
