[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 323865, member: 24285"] I've also considered a grip for my D610 and while I have a few thousand wrapped up in the camera I am not prepared to pay $349 for a grip. I have looked on line and read reviews on the third party ones and there seems to be very acceptable third party versions, some sold by major retailers who do back up their product line. There are really really cheap knock offs, I'm not talking about the $19 special. But I have not pulled the trigger on any one yet so no comment on experience but I don't think that just because we pay top dollar for some things we need to pay top dollar for everything (indeed because we pay top dollar for somethings we can't afford to pay top dollar for everything). I think my biggest hold back so far is that I've not found the need for the extra battery life. I carry a second charged battery and so far on a days shoot (up to about 800 pics) I've not needed to swap it out to continue the days picture taking. And how long does it take to pop that second battery in? One minute? [/QUOTE]
