Everyone's done it... bought some useless camera/accessory/gadget that we've toiled about after getting it home, then realised was a bit pants and consigned to the bottom of the camera bag, or eBay. So what's yours?
I'll start - a grip for my D40. My thinking: I get twice the battery capacity, and a vertical shutter release. Sounds ace... except that the D40 isn't exactly known for being greedy on power, and more importantly, was never designed to use a grip, so the vertical shutter release is a total kludge with a popout remote transmitter, and obviously no half-press focussing.
In short, it's utter crap. Anyone bought anything crapper?
