[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 80841, member: 8344"] You and I must be twins separated at birth! :D I have been taking mine on and off as well, depending on what I am doing. The D800 has such a nice feel, the grip actually makes it a tad too big and bulky. I loved the grip on my D90. It was a match made in heaven. On the D800, not the same feel for some reason. The camera feels perfect in my hands without the grip and a little foreign and too big with it! I have been thinking of simply buying an additional battery and leave it at that! Lucky for me, I found this out while spending only $70 for a grip!!!! :) At $600, I would be extremely disappointed in myself. I do find I need more than one battery. One doesn't seem to cut it with taking tons of pictures in an outing or two and then reviewing the images, transferring them to the computer etc, the battery is done. The extra battery just doubles my pleasure time while the exhausted one is in the cooker. And, I can't tell you how much I dislike unscrewing that grip! LOL [/QUOTE]
