Nikon MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack for Nikon D300 & D700 Digital SLR Cameras

Totally Necessary (Joshua C. Mabus, Tupelo, MS, 2008-11-18)

If you own a D300/D700 and you shoot more than just the kids' soccer games, then you need this.

I use it with 8 NiMH AA Energizers because it seems more economical than the upgrade batter and plug (for me). Still shoots 8 fps with AAs.

If you shoot (semi)professionally, don't look around, don't buy the knock off, just hit "PURCHASE" then add overnight! You'll be glad you did.

Turns your D700 into a better camera than a D3 (Corey Barberie, Pasadena , CA United States, 2008-11-11)

Combine this with the EN-EL4 battery adapter and you basically have an updated D3. Works great, gives you the vertical grip extra shutter, selector dials and directional pad but doesn't add a ton of weight. Comes with battery adapters for AA bateries or another EN-el3 battery (the same as in the camera). I have taken pictures all day and still had plenty of battery left.

The only thing Nikon could do to improve this is to include the EN-EL4 battery adapter in the box.

Works Great (John Borrero, 2008-11-02)

This is a great extension to your camera. Not only does it give you two different batteries life, it also works as a holder for your camera. It makes camera a little heavy but you can really stabilize the camera with one hand on the bottom side of camera.

Works great would recommend to anyone!

Get the right battery... (Audio Phile, Vancouver Canada, 2008-10-31)

Maybe I was too eager, but I didn't realize the high-speed shutter advantage offered by this unit requires a different battery model - the EN-EL4.

I bought a second EN-EL3 (7.2v 1300mAh), which offers no boost in fps over the base unit. Only the EN-EL4 (11.1v 2000mAh) gives you the max fps.

Otherwise, I'm impressed with the quality and design.

Nikon MB-D10 Power Pack does the job. (D. Flowers, Great Falls, MT, 2008-10-30)

Bought this power pack along with a new Nikon D700.

The pack is simple, and works just fine.
