Digital camera reviews of Nikon MB-D200 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the D200 Digital Camera (Retail Packaging)
Digital camera Review: Excellent Nikon Accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got my new Nikon MB-D200 and when I can get my new Nikon D200, it will be quite a pair! Design build and quality are excellent. The internal "AA" six pack battery holder is engineered very well and and is easy to use. This grip will make it easier to do portrait photography and adds a bit more heft to the unit. I also have large hands and it creates a better and safer surface area to grab onto.
All-in-all, and excellent product.
Digital camera Review: Excellent add-on
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of portrait photography with my D200 and Nikon 28-70/2.8. The MB-D200 helps the balance with the large lens and also makes shooting in portrait orientation more comfortable. Contrary to some of the other reviews I've read, I don't find the finish to be cheap, and it connects solidly to my D200.Digital camera Review: Extends battery life.
Summary: 4 Stars
Extends battery life by 150%. Grip is good for both horizontal and vertical shooting. Additional trigger makes it easy to take vertical shot. Downside: It adds to camera weight. Because of its many features and sealed body, the D200 is noticeably heavier than the D70; and the MB-D200 battery pack makes it somewhat cumbersome and heavier.Digital camera Review: Failed after a few months of use
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an adventure photographer, and I liked the feel of the battery pack, but after just a few months of use in Europe, Vietnam and Cambodia, it failed. It now will only power the camera from the battery in the slot closest to the tall part that goes into the battery compartment of the D200. I've tried everything I can think of to make it work like it originally did, but nothing seems to help. I'm looking on eBay for one to replace it.Digital camera Review: Forget about it
Summary: 4 Stars
Well - i like nikon stuff - but this thing is a cheap mess. It really can't be used on a tripod because it's not stiff enough to support the camera. The mount for the tripod socket will flex because it's made out of plastic. It's okay for adding vertical format controls. Unlike some other units this pac does nothing to improve camera performance. It's easier and lighter just to carry a spare battery. It does provide AA battery support which is why i wanted it. It could have been a whole lot better though and i expected something more like the old F100/MB-F100 combo. Really disappointing, but it is cheaper..
