[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 248700, member: 14443"] which grip is too small for you? the camera grip or battery grip you add on? youre not being specific. ergonomics aside, the D600 with battery grip is almost the same height and size as a D3. besides it having the option of longer power to shoot, the extra weight of the battery grip gives stability when using heavy lenses that want to pull it down from the front. and it will give your hand a bigger area so all your fingers can be used to grip and balance. its also easier if you need to work with a tripod. the D800 is huge with a battery grip. bigger than the D3/D3x/D3s/D4. its huge and sticks out like a sore thumb. what I dont like is even with the battery grip attached, its still weighs too little. I can opt to use AA NIMH batteries in the lower grip but since I have 3 lithium rechargeable EN-EL15 batts I dont want to use any new energizer batteries I have in closed packages. and it doesnt feel as perfectly balanced as my D3. the weight in the one piece pro bodies is spread out perfectly and its not the same with body/battery grip cameras. also the body/battery grip combo doesnt feel as good as the one piece pro bodies. it feels so out of place when using it. I dont even have to look but when im shooting it kind of kills my concentration a little when I pick it up and can feel the 2 different pieces. my grip does have an AF/AE button on the battery grip. I do plan on getting the D800 for video purposes but at the moment, that 4 fps is killing it for me. those morons in japan should have at least given it a boost if you shoot with the battery grip or if you lower the rez. but 4 fps is making me flacid. the D600 is just barely borderline for me. that D3 is just a monster.
