vertical grip useful as u dun have to "chickenwing" ur vertical shots and theres lesser strain on ur arms, also it helps to balance out the weight when u use longer lens, as for Lords its located in lucky plaza.

Yes... Agree with the rest of the folks.

Buy:
  1. MB-D200 vertical grip - a must if you shoot a lot of portraitures.
  2. SB-800 Speedlight - a must if you shoot indoors or needed that fill-in light.
  3. Extra NP-150 battery - allows you to shoot longer.
  4. Remote cord - allows you to concentrate on your shooting, especially children. Also great for macro shooting.
  5. Hyper-Utility software (optional) - allows you to connect your camera to your PC
  6. Sensor Swab and Eclipse solution - sensor cleaning at Fuji is EXPENSIVE! DIY and save money for lenses.

Let me add one more item:
  1. A sturdy and lightweight tripod - assure sharp images all the time. Recommend either Manfrotto, Gitzo or Benro (for those on budget)

Equivalent Remote cord (MC-30) can get in PPCP Online which Cost $29.90.
This remote cord is particularly use in Macro/ Close up, fireworks Shooting or condition where u dun wnt ur camera tobe shaken during long shutter. hope thts help.

You cannot use The Capture One Pro to shoot tethered with Fuji cameras. So far, CP1 Pro supports Canon DSLRs only.

It is very similar to Camera Control, but much more advanced in terms of features.
