[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 128209, member: 13076"] I did the same thing with my D7000 thinking that it is just a grip, but no. After a few days, it stopped relaying power to the camera. Then after a few months, the contact started develping this white substance. What the heck? I only keep it for looks but I learned my lesson....only buy Nikon when it comes to stuff like that. The funny thing is, all the other buttons and switches work on that Chinese grip just fine. It just doesn't provide any power. So when I got the D800, no other grip would do other than a Nikon one. These grips are so rampant on Ebay that they even have boxes to make them look like OEM Nikon grips and even the descriptions like "MB-D12 grip for Nikon"....so is it an MB-D12 grip or not? It is ambiguous. What bothers me is that even a trusted outlet like Adorama sells cheap grips from China. I have nothing against Chinese products per se but I do have something against cheap imitations. [/QUOTE]
