My battery grip just arrived for the new Nikon D600 (my initial review of it can be found here) and I feel like I can breathe again!

For my D90s, I opted for the genuine Nikon grip, though there were quite a few available at highly discounted prices on eBay due to the age of that particular model. The same cannot be said just yet for the MB-D14, the Nikon grip for the D600. They are new and they are pricey.Read More
