Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of NIKON MB-D100 Multifunction Battery Pack for Nikon D100 Digital SLR
Customer Review: Improves your grip, but isn't perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have large hands and don't like the lack of support on the bottom of the camera, this grip will enhance your hold on the camera and give you a secure vertical grip with a second shutter release. Both control wheels are present and in the same relative position as the main body when used in vertical mode. A lock switch will prevent you from accidentally taking a shot by hitting the release with the palm of your hand, which happens to me frequently. The grip also adds a 10-pin terminal, which the D100 body doesn't have, so you can use your old remote release accessories.
The built-in audio recorder is handy for keeping track of subject names when you don't have time to take notes and the audio is stored as a MP3 file on the card. If you use iPhoto you'll need to keep track of the audio files manually, but if you keep your photos organized in Nikon's Nikon View the audio is attached to the picture and ready to play for you at the touch of a button.
The grip lacks a separate focus area selector; it's incorporated into the AE-L/AF-L button which can be clumsy and hard to use under pressure. I would have also liked to see a sensor in the grip that automatically rotates vertical images so you don't have to do it in software, but that feature is not available.
The ability to use two EN-EL3 is very nice and gives you great shooting capacity, but you can also use it with a single battery just fine. I've tried using rechargeable AAs, but even freshly charged ones show up as half dead on the camera's meter. All the rechargeable AAs I've come across are 1.2V instead of the standard 1.5, so they aren't really suitable for this power-hungry camera.
I was worried it wouldn't properly fit my AH-4 handstrap, but the fit is perfect. It actually seems more comfortable than it did with my old N90/grip. The camera is very tall when mounted on a tripod and there is more flex than I would like to see. If you're using a heavy lens without a tripod collar, you might want to remove the vertical grip to reduce camera shake.
