[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 229817, member: 14443"] knock on wood no issue with 3rd party batteries. I will remind people (who seem to forget so quickly btw) that nikon had a battery recall on D200 batteries. a few who burned in the camera, I might add. so I dont think nikon batteries are any better quality than 3rd party. and for the price difference, its a no brainer for me. Id rather use the extra money for glass. Like with their grips, I dont think the product is worth the price. the aftermarket grips are VERY solid. VERY. I also did a side by side comparison of a nikon mb-d10 grip compared to my aftermarket one and I could not see a reason why they asked so much money for them. $250 vs $30. and you think, $30...it must be crap. but not at all. thats the thing.
