d300 grip

[alexkidd]

i'm reading that it only holds one extra battery, is this true?

if so why do you think this is?

last grip i had for the d100 held 2, wonder what made them change?

 

[whitey]

the camera still holds two in total, one in the caemra itself in its normal place, then another in the grip

you can put in an EN-EL4 for 8fps aswell with the correct chamber

 

[desantnik]

Yes, its because the EN-EL4 is a much physically bigger battery

 

[alexkidd]

oh aye, i get it, no stick bit to slot into the camera

does it come with the elen4 thing or just the grip?

 

[desantnik]

No, the EN-EL4 is extra.... and then you need the special charger and the expensive plastic battery cover... couple of hundred quid in all to take you up to 8fps and a battery that is good for several thousand shots.

Alternatively the included AA battery holder will also give you the 8fps

I went the AA route and bought two sets of 8 Eneloop batteries and an extra MS-D10 tray so I can change quickly, plus one EN-EL3e in the camera anyway

Can't see the point of spending £100 for the EN-EL4a, £120 on the MH-21 charger plus you need the BL-3 battery cover as well which is another £23. Not cheap

 

[whitey]

thats why i stick to 2 x EN-EL3e's lol

I don't know if it's of any use but I wrote a review on the MB-D10 just the other day
