Nikon MB-D200 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the D200 Digital Camera

If you own a Nikon D200 spend the money and get one of these and another battery. Don't even think about it. Just get it.

This product was bought for my husband. It had been out of stock for a while in both local camera shops and on line. We had requested to be notified by Amazon as soon as it became available. Once we received an email indicating availability, we ordered it immediately. The notification of availability for an out of stock item is a great feature and I would definitely use that Amazon service again! Thank you...

I've had my MB200 for a couple years now and I still marvel at how great an addition it is to my camera case. It really seems to give me four times the battery life instead of the doubling that would be expected. If I had a complaint it would be the added weight makes a tripod necessary for me for nearly every shot. Oh heck that's probably my 63 years not the Battery Pack.

It does it's job very well. It is a bit flimsey, but if it is handled with some care, it should work fine for years. I am very pleased with it and will get another one for another model camera later. I do recommend this product to anyone who takes a lot of pictures.

Although I've never quantifiable measured number of exposures or time difference between a single battery and using the bat/grip. It feels like 3 to 4 times as much power before I need to change out the batteries. The extra weight also feels good on the camera. As far as the vertical controls, it would be nice if there was a menu/selector button on the grip so you could cycle through things. Also when I'm in vertical mode i tend to push the menu/selector button with my forehead and focal point runs all over the view finder. a little weird.
