[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 135239, member: 13076"] It is personal choice in terms of how you shoot. The grip helps for vertical shots and of course battery life. It seems you don't shoot much flash off the camera so perhaps you'll be fine. I personally love the look and stability of the grips but sometimes I enjoy the lighter weight and portability of the smaller D7000 camera. But if I'm doing more serious shooting I like to have the grip handy, plus I have bigger hands so it just feels more secure when I shoot. I would not get it because your friends like you to have one but because you find it to be more comfortable to use, and that it is your style of shooting that requires it. Can you borrow one of your friend's grips and try it out for a shooting day and see how you like it? That's what I would do. I love grips! :D [ATTACH=CONFIG]32330._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]32331._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
