If you need extra juice, a spare battery in your pocket will be lighter. All it takes is a couple of seconds for you to swap out the battery. As for looking good, the better your camera looks, the more you put yourself out there as a target for thieves and robbers, especially if you are traveling in areas where motorcycle snatch thieves are known to prowl. Don't get me wrong, I do own a battery grip as well for my D700. I only use it when I shoot portraits in studio or outdoor for an extended period of time. Another good use of grips is when you need that extra juice for shooting remotely like doing overnight timelapse or startrails.</blockquote>
