yeh that was one thing i was abit disapointed with is that nikon doesnt have the same as the canon battery grip.. but apparently the battery last ages in the nikon ones well.. i hope so haha..

[Jingers]

yeah but who cares about how long it lasts, the reason why people get battery grip is so that it looks like a MKII 1d :d

[Wlee2]

mm yeh dang these guys rice up their camera too =P

[MrThanh]

... pause ... NOT!


i got my battery grip because it balances out the camera when you've got a heavy lens + flash on it. makes it a hell of a lot easier to hold, and its very comfortable too.

you can't hide with it on though, which may be a good thing. When i was at melbourne zoo, people actually moved out of my way so that I would have a clear shot of the bears. rawr!

[Wlee2]

its like whoa.. look at the size of that camera.. omg he must be professional..

better get out of his way.. i dont want my face posted all over national geographic...

[NeoNode]

Here's mine!



fAP fAP Fap!!

[Wlee2]

you got a D200 neonode? or is that just a strap?

does nikon have this extended battery pack thing like caanon?

[NeoNode]

Nah I got a D200.

Depends on the Nikon model, some have the battery grip option, but most lower end models don't.

The D40 is one of those models that Nikon doesn't offer a battery grip option, i'm afraid.
Perhaps some 3rd party will have one in the works maybe...

ehh guess i cant expect much from an entry level Slr =P..

it is prettymuch like 1/3 the cost of a D200 =P... but ive used it once loving it so far way better than a compact digital..

[NeoNode]

Just don't buy body driven lenses, if you do decide to invest in some new glass for the D40.

[Wlee2]

whats a body driven lense?

[NeoNode]

Auto focus is driven by a motor inside the camera body instead of the motor inside the lens like Canons do.

The D40 lacks this body driven motor, so you can only achieve auto focusing with AF-S/AF-I lenses, as these contain motors inside the lens.

I went canon because Thanh has alot of canon lenses
