When using this grip, can you get the higher frame-rate that the Nikon MB-D12 enables?

You get the same framerate but be careful. The contacts on the unit to the camera get loose too easily and you can't use it - not a precision design in my experience - can't trust it to work every time.

Its too slow for continuous action shots. Regarding stopping action oin a single shot---only in bright sunlight and not on 'auto'

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

I think so. I have my D5100 with third - party grip attached and I have no problems at all.

No it doesn't. At 75mm (where you would get the most camera shake), it is possible to hand-hold at 1/75th sec. With a little bit of work (leaning against a wall, something like that) you can hand-hold at 1/60th. Since you wouldn't want to hand-hold at anything slower than that anyway, there's really no need for IS

No, it's reaction speed is not very good for pictures of moving objects. It will give you good HD videos though, although the zoom control is not available in video.

I have no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

.12 will produce the highest fps but greatly reduce accuracy. .20 will give you greater accuracy but less fps

I think they are using a 5D in the video. I have a Sony with a grip and it has a lot of adjustments. You can also call them I did, they where great.

I think there is a vertical grip for the D3200 but the MB D12 works only for D800

from what i heard, for the d5000 and lower, u need to set it to remote so when u are using the shutter release on the grip, it is pretty much like using it by remote. so its not THAT good. unless u want the grip for its size and battery compartment.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

Hey all! I am also extremely interested in the upcoming Zeikos battery grip for the D7000. I connected with customer support through the Zeikos website (much like @graceful did) and they just informed me that their development department will not have this product ready until the end of April. This is a real downer. Another full month without an alternative to the overprices MB-D11 option.

Hello, yes, you can also select 2 or 5 fps. The owners manual states that the maximum number for either of those is 100 shots, with a disclaimer that the number is limited by the "picture-taking conditions and the type of card used" Thanks.

I am having to think about reposition my fingers when I turn the camera on. Your natural grip has you hold the camera where the pop up flash is when you turn the camera on. I have had mixed results with the flash. On some shots it looks fantastic and seems to compensate exposure for nicely lit shots. Other times it is pretty typical of single source on-camera flash. I'm still getting use to the camera but would have liked direct access to the flash controls.

I recently used it while shooting a marathon. I was shooting often 11 frames per second and never noticed it heating up. Worked brilliantly.
