I think theres a lot of false information runnign around. better weather sealing, stuff like that. how would one know? was there a test to prove how weather sealed the nikon grips are because to me the fit isnt so tight with the camera that water wouldnt leak in between those two parts and imo only the one piece pros would really be the superior camera in harsh weather. I dont think the non one piece bodies are as weather sealed, even if you used nikon grips or if you didnt and used the contacts rubber cover. I had my 3rd part grip for my D600 and the fit is just fine. works very well. not going to mention sling straps, I just think theyre awful. I used it before. camera swirling twirling swaying back and forth. got so many knees and dings on my gear in one wedding I shot. first and last time ever. its not faster than a strap around the neck. dont see the logic to the product. its a fad thatll go away. people try to reinvent the wheel. theres a reason why a neck strap is still the most sold.Give me the extra $200 for better glass. the nikon grip is not 5 times better in quality and not even 100% better. its minor differences. and like fotojack said, there are differences in quality.I think the two best are phottix and meike. for the D600, I bought a no name brand. I also had one for my D300 and I also bought one for a D7000 I was going to buy and they looked and worked excellent.I got many other things I want to buy instead of a piece of plastic that holds batteries and gives better balance. 3rd party grip sales are exploding. including flashes and batteries.</blockquote>
