Because I'm a big guy and have very large hands, I bought a 3rd party grip because I liked having a grip on my D7000 so much I figured it would translate over to the D800 but it didn't work out that way. After having it on for about a month I took it off. It just made the darn camera too big and clunky. The D7000 is different and the grip gives me more stability but the D800's ergonomics is nearly perfect as-is and a grip on it just made it too cumbersome for me. So what I do now is cycle thru my EL-15's between the D7000 and D800 and I've shot long hours at a time and haven't run into any problems yet. You know, on the subject of the D7000, I tried shooting with it again last week and it just felt like I was using a miniature camera, everything felt small and the view finder seemed to give such a dinky view. I've come to the conclusion that my lovely D7000 is just going to gather dust and the only right thing to do is sell her. Conceptually it seemed like having 2 cameras was a good thing but in reality you really only need one, the other will just sit idle 99% of the time.
